A Lazy Spring Update

During these last few nice days I’ve been busy preparing for the growing season. Yesterday I sowed several Swiss chard seeds outdoors. It’s a very pretty and cold hard plant offering tasty spinach-like leaves. Today I watered them due to high, drying winds.
Not This Spring Harvest, Yet...

Do you enjoy spinach or other greens? Have you ever eaten decorative edible flowers?

    1. Me too. I like edible garnishes. Spinach is fine, as far as I'm concerned, unless it's canned. That's disgusting. lol Be well!

  8. I have. I once ate a violet. Two. And felt like a murderer as those are my most favorite wild flower ever. All the colors. Purple blue, white, yellow. I read that they were actually quite good and I hate to say that they are indeed good. I can't do it again.

    1. Awww... You make me sad. Removing flowers often causes more to reproduce. :)

  9. My mom has always loved fresh spinach, and dad learned to enjoy it once mom got him eating better many moons ago. He says he remembers working with edible flowers in one or two bakeries he used to work at, though never tried them himseld.

    1. Your humans are amazing! I would never have guessed your dad worked at bakeries. That's fascinating.
