Give the stems a light bashing at the end or cut a slit in them and remove
the leaves. It's not a copper-bottomed 'recipe' but it usually works for

| Thanks Sasha.
That seems to be a worthwhile answer, and your suggested web site is a
worthwhile visit. I hope some other garden groupers have benefited.
