my favorite edible flower is that of the pineapple guava.


Hello there!

Well, I wish my garden was amazing. It is much too bare at the moment, but I do have a lot of stuff planted and planned that I am looking forward to harvesting. I have to look at my garden plots all the time and give all those still underground a pep talk.

Yesterday was the day I spoiled the pole beans, lima beans, and sugar snaps growing along one area of a south chain-link fence. I had to grow some kind of vine there because my neighbors on that side have a ton of weeds. It is scary to see how many of them grow right up to the edge of the fence, ready to invade my yard. Although my arugula did some invading as well and I happily dug a couple up from over there to get to the seeds I forgot to harvest last year. I have never grown beans or peas before and I'm so happy to see that they are growing well and clinging to the fence already. Next year, I'll have to try some black-eyed peas if I can find a spot to squeeze them in.

Yes, do grow some edibles! I totally enjoy any flowers that bloom in my garden, especially those that bloom with the promise of "I can EAT it!"
