Hi atutor2001


I’ve tried unsuccessfully to find articles on whether a plucked leaf is a living thing or not. I take it as a non living thing just like a plucked apple.

Hi tianzhu

Thank you very much.

Hi atutor2001


Nice to have you back. Does this signal the beginning of a new season?

She says that the plucked leaf is a living thing until it shows signs of decay to indicate that it is dead, i.e. a non-living thing.

Hi Mrs Wong

Thank you.

Best wishes

I have a question.


Why do farmers cut off the leaves of the radish before selling them?

Just my guess - to prevent loss of water thru the leaves.

The food stored in the radish may be utilised by the radish to grow into a young plant and the radish will shrink in size.

Because nobody wants to carry the leaves home to throw it away, and of course farmers don't want to bring extra load to the market. More importantly buyer do not want to pay for extra weight
