  • Mixed Edible Flowers: Beauty, Aroma, Flavor – and Poetry Image
    Mixed Edible Flowers: Beauty, Aroma, Flavor – and Poetry July 11, 2017

    “Flowers,” as Farmer Lee Jones points out, “have been used as inspiration for a myriad of things for thousands of years.” They are “one of the most intimate, seductive things that exist. It’s a flower, it’s to attract. You get the beauty of the color, but you also get the aroma and the bouquet of that flower.”

    The Growth of the Vegetable Bloom June 29, 2017

    Although this scenario happened years ago, it’s easy to picture the scene. Bob Jones, Jr. had just spotted French breakfast radishes that weren’t harvested in time.

    Nasturtium Blooms: A Thomas Jefferson Darling and Peruvian Medicine All In One January 3, 2017
