| Posted on March 8, 2011 at 2:02 PM |
Purple Hollyhock: stunningly beautiful, has edible flowers that grace the top of a cake quite nicely  Tulsi
(aka Holy or Sacred Basil): much easier to grow than regular basil,
has strong medicinal properties, revered in India by the spiritual
communityNasturtium: super easy to grow & germinates quickly,
has bright cheery flowers that are spicy & delicious in salads,
leaves are also edible  Red Bergamot: has hot pink flowers that
smell & taste gorgeous, leaves & flowers may be added to black
tea to give an earl grey-like flavourHorehound: leaves have a very interesting texture, can be made into delicious lozenges to treat coughs Luffa:
yes, like the sponges! A friend of mine successfully grew & dried
her own luffas & they look just like store-bought ones! Chocolate Mint: need I say more??  Nigella:
very easy to grow, has very beautiful alien-like blue flowers that can
be dried & applied to herbal wreaths, has edible seeds Perilla
(aka Shiso or Japanese Basil): easy to grow, a delicious addition to
sushi & salads, an often effective treatment for seasonal allergies Happy Seed Hunting! |

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging, oh wise herbalist! Love your selections, and it wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I learned that nigella, which I grow all the time, has edible seeds; found that out through Costas the herb guy at Brewery Market.

Thanks for sharing the great information regarding the gardening. Gardening is such a great feeling. I forget all the things when I do gardening. It is a practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture.

Gardening may be very specialized, with only one type of plant grown, or involve a large number of different plants in mixed plantings. It involves an active participation in the growing of plants, and tends to be labor intensive, which differentiates it from farming or forestry. Thanks.

Tulsi, or Basil has many health benefits and even is considered sacred. It is used in many food items as a herb.

I have a hard time cutting flowers from my garden to bring indoors, but somehow I'm fine with cutting them to eat. That's probably because I tend to grow many edible flowers in my vegetable garden, where harvesting is required. It's amazing how many common flowers are edible, like roses, daylilies and hibiscus.
