You might want to look at the label , determine the ingredients of the root stimulator, and google for toxity if any. I would not expect any danger from this type of vegetable except in the case of a systemic insecticide.

I agree with tarheel - what you have there is fertilizer :)

Eat and enjoy! He just fertilized stuff that probably didn't need it. And you might want to keep your dad away from the vegetable garden in future.
