Edible Flowers

Filed Under EDUCATION, FLOWERS, HOME & GARDEN | Leave a Comment

I was reading a post about Edible Flowers on Quick dinner recipes where they recommend Hibiscus flowers in your salad. Now that rings a bell as I have seen Hibiscus Tea in he shops already.

tropaeolum majusMy most favorite edible flowers are Indian Cress (Tropaeolum Majus - Garden Nasturtium).

I grow the climbing cultivars of Garden Nasturtium after the harvest of peas to keep the land free of weeds. Garden Nasturtium grows very fast but it freezes at the end of the season, so it’s quite easy to remove all the rotten leaves the next spring.

I also grow bush Indian Cress in between my beans, as the Indian Cress attracts aphids, so no need to use pesticides on my other vegetables!

I love to eat the flowers of Indian Cress in a salad and being a cookingdiva myself: I do make a nice cress soup out of the leaves. :-)

August is fruit and veggies month

Filed Under EDUCATION, FLOWERS, HOME & GARDEN | Leave a Comment

August is also called harvesting month, so it’s time to harvest peas, beans, strawberries but at the same time prepare the land for winter once your harvest is done.

The beginning of August is ideal to start seeding lettuce, spinach, radish and winter cauliflower. And nothing prevents you from adding to that list green onions and carrots.

Always sow carrots next to onions: as the onions will keep away the carrots’ pests and the carrots will fool the onion pests! Add some radish seeds where you sow the carrots: the radish will sprout much faster, so you know where you have been sowing your carrots!
