Edible flowers, for the bees and me

We also love to eat colours!

As an example, I posted a picture of mixed salad with flowers in this post: https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/what-are-your-favorite-cover-crops-to-eat/646/20?u=mare.silba

Flowers in that salad are nasturtium, fava beans, collard, peas, borage, malva and calendula (just petals),
mixed with different salad greens (lettuces, brassicas, lamb’s lettuce), wild rocket, dandelion, nasturtium, wild plantain, lemon balm and sage leaves.

One of my favourite flower to snack on while I’m in the garden is nasturtium - I love that particular combination of sweet and spicy
