An Overgrown Garden

IMG_9454.jpg
This is what happens when your garden decides to explode a little bit.

Do you see food here or do you think it is too late? All has gone beyond saving and is ready to be ripped out?

Let's take another look.

What do your hungry eyes spy???

Maybe you see the kale and the greens in the back? they are from the Broccoli family but don't make any heads - just delicious leaves.

Did you see the Nasturtiums? Every part of that plant is edible. A bit peppery tasting - but so good!!! And pretty.

The flowers make any salad look fabulous and they shine as a cake decoration.

Speaking of flowers.

The blue flowers you see are Borage and they taste just a little like cucumber.

The yellow are from bok choy and taste a bit like it. The white ones are radish flowers and have a slight radish flavor.

I like to go and just snack in the yard.

See the seed pods? They are also quite delicious when they are young. I like the radish pods the best. They are great in salads and in stir-fry.

Do you eat flowers? Seed pods?

What are your favorites?

And what else do you see what might be delicious to eat?
