Subject: peas &
broccoli
Sheila,
I couldn't agree more about Ros
Creasy's books. I've also had the pleasure to meet her. My
husband is the architect on a property that she landscaped. She is
such a nice lady.
I put flowers in my salads as
well. Borage, chive blooms, nasturtium, thyme, etc. My kids
are used to eating them. They also LOVE broccoli. I think it's
all what they grow up eating. Shoot, I love collard greens and
black-eyed peas. They'll eat the greens but won't touch the
black-eyed peas!!!

Amy, you need some inspiration to go along with your
apprehension! Go to
the library and see if they have any Rosalind
Creasy. She has a whole
series of 'edible' books: Edible Herb Garden;
Edible Salad Garden; Edible
French Garden; Edible Heirloom Garden;
Edible Italian Garden; Edible Flower
Garden; and many others. The
pictures are inspiring and the advice is
solid. Not that I am sending
you out. Just trying to give you 'visuals'
that you can do :) Once you
get some plants going, you are going to find
your fears disappear with
the more success you have. There are no mistakes,
just learning
moments!!
