Carrot leaves are edible. Carrots are good for your eyes, digestion and heart and are 88% water.

Growing tips:
Saw carrot seeds in situ (directly into the ground or pot), as they do not like to be transplanted. Saw sparingly in drills in well-draining soil free from stones and large clods of earth. Cover with a thin layer of soil and water with a find rose spray to avoid dislodging the seed. Once your seedlings are 4cm tall you can start to thin them out to 7cm apart.
