If you can't beat 'em join 'em

The chooks(hens) have been escaping and eating my spinach and beetroot leaves, I grow especially for stirfry's. Today I was looking at the white and red stalks, and thought if I cut all the naked stalks off, the young ones might grow faster... some stalks had about half the green or red leaf still on, the rest were less, right back to just the stalks... When I finished, I had quite a bundle of stalks, and though, oh well if you can't bet 'em, I'll join 'em, brought the stalks inside, rinsed them under the tap, and cooked them, they actually tasted very nice, with onion, a little cabbage and grated beetroot, and couscous to soak up the extra juice... so made a meal out of stalks lol...
