Seeds to Flower

I like Johnny's Selected Seeds catalog. Looking through it I found something I want to try.

Baby Blue Eucalyptus, because I've never tried to grow it, and a new Gomphrena color this year called Sequin. Gomphrena (Globe Amaranth) is easy to grow!

The Growers Library at Johnny's online has a guide to Edible Flowers. It seems they are making a comeback. (again). Very nice brochure with photos of vegs/fruits, herbs, and flowers with lots of great information about growing, harvesting, and storing.

Some edibles which I forget I can eat:

  • Marigolds
  • Borage
  • Nasturtium
  • Viola
  • Calendula
  • Squash Blossoms
  • Bachelor Buttons

Some flowers of salad greens and herbs that have bolted are edible, too, but not the leaves.

Time to order some seeds!
