, but once winter comes, there just isn't as much variety here and it all gets really expensive!

In winter you can use

carrot tops
beet tops
boc choy (baby ones)
broccoli
spinach
salad (organic) mixes
parsley cilantro


I grow chard and kale parsley; all winter here in so oregon. it does not get big like in summer but it grows, also beets, and in a Window box I grow spinach and salad mix. Winter is a challange in many parts. My sis in Connecticut has to go to 4 stores to get some kale, chard, mustard greens etc. but she finds them. hope this helps. Joz

There is a book; The Patterson Guide to Edible Wild Plants. The pictures are pretty good.

Yes, but I think it is PETERSON's book, not Patterson?
Or are there two?

Carrot tops is a traditional feedstuff for domestic animals at the farms.

Pet animals as guineapigs, rabbits and cage birds like carrot tops too and eat them without any problem.

People usually don't eat carrot greens. I don't know why. I think carrot tops really could be a nice part of greens smoothies.
However, there are some oxalic acid in carrot tops.

Here are some medical effects of a combination of carrot tops, mint and parsley. Suggestion, put them fresh in your blender:
