All I may grow is tomatoes in a planter sat high on a bench to keep all the animals from eaten them.

Maripose -- Dalylily
In a salad they are mild and have more beauty than taste; however, fried they are exquisite. I sift flower and add salt, pepper and a bit of French Tarragon. I am careful to see there are no bugs in the blossoms, (lol) then I drag them through a bit of buttermilk then just press them lightly on the flower mixture then sprinkle it on the back. I am careful to keep them open and I drop them into hot Canola oil and just leave them long enough for the flower mixture to be firm. Drain on paper towels and add a couple to a dish as the last thing. They are beautiful and good.

No I didn't know that about the soup. I like all the others plus marigold flowers. Let me know hat you come up with in the soup. Have a great day.

I don't garden much anymore but I sure love son's garden. He told me I could have as many as I wanted of his daylilies, sunflower petals, nasturtium flowers for salads and any and all rosehips, but to leave his clematis alone. LOL. Did you know that the Chinese use the daylily petals in their hot/sour soup. I think I'm going to try that.

I am so sorry about all this stuff. I hope all is cleared up now and next year will be a great garden. Just give it to the Lord he has a way of making things right if you just remind him often of his promises.

I've never had squash blossoms - are they good, how do you cook them? I am not much of a gardener, but my sons' are. I like to eat home-grown produce though.

I have a lot of herbs in containers but I haven't had any problem with critters yet. Containers offer a lot of flexibility for taking the plants inside in the winter.

I grow all those things but I have had fun with some different things like Jerusalem Artichokes, Kohlrabi and Salsify (known as the Oyster plant) I have some heirloom tomatoes this year, I am looking forward to eating them. I like tomatoes more than any vegetable I guess.

I do container gardening mostly. Seems easier to control the
animals and critter that way

I really wanted to plant a garden this year.. but it was more than I could do. We also have a wonderful farmer's market here though. I willl enjoy the fruits of my neighbors work. I never plant anything too different when I do plant a garden.. just tomatoes, squash, peppers, okra.. the usual I guess. Fresh home grown food always tastes the best.. for sure. ~Peace, OTA
