Not only they add a splash of color and detail to salads, but they are also quite tasty.
Coloured Giant Beans
Such a beautiful pink & black pattern. I bought the seeds at the market in Greece.
Bolted radish = flowers and seeds
The radish flowers are becoming plump pods which will give me seeds for next year. The trick is to let more than one plant go to seed.
Plant ID app that works
I grew up in a whole different climate and continent. The local wild plants here are foreigners to me.
Chives: tasty perennial herbs
The flowers are edible too. Pretty pink and taste like… chives.
Wild flower id challenge
It’s easier to identify plants when you have both flowers and leaves. I used this thick book to help me.
Balcony salad
Colorful cherry tomatoes, spicy rockets and beautiful edible nasturtium flowers. All from the balcony.
Bee restaurant
Consider letting some of your urban crops go to flower and provide food for our friends the pollinators.
Weather for coffee outside
I can now bring my laptop outside and work in the sun, even though last year perennials are not yet re-blooming in the balcony.
Current balcony blossoms
Lots of color! Hope the cucumber is being lucky on the bee-Tinder, so far only female flowers.
