4.17.19 // flowers I ate today out of my garden 🌸 my interest in eating flowers is ever-growing. I think eating flowers is weird and unique and perhaps the bees and butterflies and other insects are onto something that we humans are missing out on... 🌸 Here’s what I munched on today: 1 // probably my number one fav edible flower is green onion! (don’t worry I’m saving plenty for the bees!) Tastes like a mild onion. Delightful! 2 // arugula flowers will add a KICK to any dish 3 // bell isle cress flowers will kick your ass 4 // turnip flowers a little spicy but not too strong 5 // thyme flowers add some herby goodness 6 // strawberry flowers are sweet! hard to sacrifice a piece of fruit to eat a flower though 7 // dianthus (petals only) are just okay tbh 8 // catmint are pungent and yummy 9 // wild violet are to me quite minty tasting 10 // pansies & violas are mild, sometimes minty and can add lots of color and beauty to your food!
4.14.19 // my favorite way to invest money is in fruit trees, shrubs & plants 🌿 1 Blueberries! We will have homegrown blueberries this year! 2 Strawberries. This variety is “pineberry”! We got a hundred more strawberry plants in the ground yesterday! 3 Tayberry we planted last year getting ready to grow fruit! 4 Dewberry looks like it’s really gonna produce! 5 Hachiya persimmon we planted yesterday! 6 American persimmon 7 Russian mulberry 8 Rosehips 9 Peach tree that was already on the homestead!
4.11.19 // there’s few more transformative journeys than spring time in the garden! It’s such a delight to witness the changing of seasons - there’s something new and exciting happening everyday! Yesterday I saw my first dragonfly of the year, today I saw a new type of mushroom I’ve never seen grow in the garden, four days ago I saw my first skink.. the list goes on and on. Pictured: 1 Potatoes are taking off! 2 Burdock leaves are among my favorite - they are so large and spectacular! 3 Jerusalem artichokes are beginning to say hello. 4 Muscadine grape just woke up. 5 Almost time to harvest my first green onion flower! It’s my fav edible flower, and it’s the crop I’m most excited to eat every spring!! 6 Carrots that I planted two months ago finally terminated - I was beyond surprised when I noticed them today! 7 volunteer lettuces doing their thing. 8 first white cabbage moth caterpillar sighting today! Where my wasps and birds at!?
4.9.19 // Coming into my fifth year as a gardener strong 💪🏼 This is the second year on the homestead - and the no-till sheet mulched garden is maturing beautifully. Insect & animal species are at an all time high. This year my goals are to get more raised beds built, to grow a larger portion of my diet, and to eat something from the garden every day! I of course have many more plans and projects for this season, but we will start there 🌿
