Stop and Eat the Roses~

Lolly found an extremely yummy rose bush. No chance she wasn't eating those!

Not everyone enjoys the taste of edible flowers.  Lambs, goats and lamas do enjoy that delicacy. 

One year I grew Nasturtiums in my garden and my Dad told me a neat story. His Mom grew Nasturtiums in her garden and would take those pretty round leaves, rinse them off and lay them flat in the bottom of her baking pan.  She would then mix together a plain cake batter and pour it on top.  This was back when cakes were made from scratch.  He said when it was done baking, she would flip the cake over like a pineapple upside-down cake to serve.  It not only looked wonderful but was also delicately flavored by the Nasturtium leaves. 

How neat is that for eating your greens?
