Do you remember in the summer when we were growing “leaves” in our window box as a boost to our 5 a day regime, well we ate them all …..
So, now we’re growing winter flowering pansies, which, it seems, you can eat too. We’ve done a bit of research on the internet and found this recipe to make an “elegant hors d’oeuvre”:- you just spread some cream cheese on a plain cracker (round or square) and top it with a whole pansy. Nom, Nom?
They look good enough to eat. I hope they aren't "special" plants that make strange things happen to one's brain. In fact, they look special enough already as though one had taken such items.
ReplyDeleteMy brain is addled enough even without any stimulants stronger than coffee.
They would look divin served at a garden party and yes there are lots of flora you can eat they would also count as one of your 5 a day in a very viola family horticulturist sort of way big hortus wave your pal Hugh
