    I read that the leaves of pumpkin are edible and indeed are an important part of the diet in some African countries - do any members know if courgette and other cucubrita leaves are also edible? - has anyone tried them, and if so are they worth eating.

    Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?
