I eat celery leaves, or use them in soup or feed them to my fine organic
chickens (who lay pretty organic eggs). They are not as sweet as the stems,
but tasty. The leafy tops of strawberries are not tasty enough to be worth
the trouble of chewing. Don't know about radish tops. I know carrot tops are
bitter, though, even if the carrots themselves are very sweet. Verified that
standing in the garden, chomping, a couple of weeks ago!

Don't know about tomato leaves, but rhubarb leaves are poisonous.
