Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

Just because I’m advocating so much food production in as many places as you can find doesn’t mean you can’t have flowers too.  And I mean more flowers than just the buds on your veggies {though I think zucchini flowers are kinda pretty in their own special way} but I realize that isn’t going to satisfy most people who long for flowery  yards.

The truth is you can plant flowers.  Score!  And if you plant an edible flower ~ BONUS!  So here are a list of the edible flowers you can plant:

Now if this is something you are interested in, I would check out a few books on edible flowers like,Edible Flowers: From garden to kitchen or  Edible Flowers: Desserts & Drinks to learn how to use them.   Without books like these, I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea what to even do with an edible flower if I actually wanted to eat it.

So you see?  You really can have the best of both worlds!
