Nasturtium the Edible Flower

Would you eat a flower?

Really would you?

I consider myself a pretty major foodie, and the two items that I am going to try this year –

#1 Stuffed Squash blossoms

#2  Nasturtiums

Nasturiums are in the same plant family as watercress, which my friends, is fully edible.

I”m just going to confess to you that I haven’t eaten a flower…

Ever.

Something in my head says “flowers are to be smelled, not chomped on”.

My head isn’t always the best thing to listen to.

If you’re looking for a flower to plant from seed, this is one that you can’t really fail at.

Unless you go to Europe and don’t water it for a month.

Plant these very large seeds in the spring….and by early June, you’ll have these.

My kids used to plant these when they were little.  I knew it was a 100% success rate of working.  Now I plant them around my herbs to add some flowers to my herb garden.

Try Nasturtiums! I love them!
