Herbs love to be trimmed... and this garden is a perfect...

This weekend is a popular planting weekend... and many folks will
be doing a bit of container gardening...

So why not mix that a up a bit and create a Container Garden
of Herbs... for cooking, cocktails... and more..

I created this container garden at Flowerland last Saturday..
and by now I'm sure it's gone home with someone... who
can use the herbs to create fun recipes...

Herbs love to be trimmed... and this garden is a perfect
addition to any outdoor living space...

I added pea gravel and pot chips to help keep the soil
moist... and create interesting texture...


P.S.

Adding edible flowers to the menu

I love Nasturtium...  Because they are Orange and Yellow...

Because they have an amazing Fragrance...
Because they are amazing in a hanging basket...
and because you can Eat them...

One of our Favorite Organic Farms.... Real Food Farm
and Farmer Ben had some beautiful Nasturtium baskets this week
at the farmers market...

(Of course I bought a couple for the house)...

I love them... they smell sweet... and the flowers are a peppery
accent to many dishes... here's the recipe!

Nasturtium Caprese Salad-

Slice fresh heirloom tomatoes, top with sliced fresh mozzarella...
instead of Basil... Cover with Nasturtium blossoms(organic of course)...
garnish with pink himalayan sea salt... and extra virgin olive oil...

You can also add Balsamic Vinegar Reduction if you wish...

No need for fresh ground pepper... as the Nasturtiums add a fresh
peppery flavor... 

P.S. It's a fun way to add edible flowers to the menu.... Enjoy!

Not just Pretty...Powerful... can I get an "Amen" for Flower Power??!

Perfect timing actually... since the New York Post published
this article about the health benefits of Flowers...

Specifically Chrysanthemums... (and I love these beauties
from Esprit Miami)... from Dr. Haviland Jones! 

Read the article on Flower Health Benefits here! 

P.S. Not just Pretty...Powerful... can I get an "Amen" for Flower Power??!

It's a climbing vine... with a 5 fingered leaf...

I ran across this flower gem when I was with my friend Karyn...
on location in Kansas City...

It's a climbing vine... with a 5 fingered leaf...
sometimes referred to as "Chocolate Vine"...

This popular Japanese flower is mentioned frequently in
Japanese Literature... and is said to evoke pastoral settings...

These pinkish blooms with bright red centers have an
amazing fragrance that is not unlike Lily of the Valley... 


P.S. The Name - Akebia

Flower Roof... it's a valuable car..

The 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda... was offered to with a Flower Pattern Vinyl
Roof... to attract more female customers...

However only 1 Person ever took advantage of the option...

So this is a very rare car... valued at $1.4 Million dollars...
and it was recently stolen...

Even without the Flower Roof... it's a valuable car...

Read the story here... 



P.S. I wish someone would come out with that option again... I have
one in a minute... I wish I would have known back in the 70s...

Flowers of Spring

Did you know all about the Dandelion...

Besides making great "bracelets and rings"...

or "Telling us if we like butter"...

or being super fun to 'blow the seeds off the stalk"...

The Dandelion is also one of the FIRST Flowers of Spring... and it
provides nutrition, pollen and nectar for Bees...

I love having dandelions in my yard... and work to keep them
there... 


P.S. Dandy... Just Dandy...
