But that's kind of the question, really ... given it died back and has
regrown, does the new stuff count as 'new' growth and the past-July rule
would't apply? *Or, more likely, is it better not to take the chance ....

The leaves contsin oxalic acid. The stalks are OK, just as they get
old they get tough and tasteless.
