summary from an email of the mailing list: Schildifutter - Mailingsliste from Sabine Willig
>>
Most of you might know the leaves of the radish are edible for torts, but of course only the ones from your own garden. I only harvest part of my plants and leave the other ones to bloom. The plants gets richer in fibre and becomes harder for chewing which are positive side-effects for our torts. 
As soon as the plant beginns to bloom, I feed the whole plant besides the root and the torts love to eat it.
