cilantro consolation prize

[eub]

When your cilantro bolts too early, as it will do, sniggering visibly -- eat the flowers. They taste not very much like cilantro, but aromatic, and also sweet.

We will have a flower salad someday.

I don't recommend marigolds, though they are prominently featured in grocery store flower mixes. Blech.

Nasturtiums, now.... Roses. Dandelions. Arugula. :-)

chives flowers
rosemary flowers
broccoli flowers (after they've gone to actual flower)

My favorite thing to do with Nasturtiums is to take a flower and place a nice ripe raspberry in the center and then eat it. So tasty!

:) Sweet to imagine.

I am proud of myself for keeping my little lettuce seedlings alive through the last few days of heat. Hopefully I will be able to encourage them to produce enough for a regular-type salad.
