Spotlight on: edible flowers!While we mostly grow vegetables, we also have an extensive flower garden. Small edible flowers include johnny jump-ups (violas), bachelor buttons (cornflowers), pot marigolds (calendulas) and borage (starflowers). These make the perfect finishing touch to any dish: salads, soups, and especially desserts. We also have nasturtiums, for a bright and spicy kick to salads, and squash blossoms.
And although our sunflowers are not edible (not yet anyways), they are just starting to show their faces among our tomato and potato patches, as well as at the heads of many of our lawn beds.
