I haven't thought of eating sunflower petals. The flowers are so pretty though and I don't have many so I think I will leave them this year!

I have just seen recipe book in which sunflower petals as well as seeds were added to a bread recipe. Could be worth a try.

I haven't been here for a while. I still have lots of calendula in my garden but no borage! I thought it was hard to get rid of but it seems to have gone all on its own. I have some nasturtium seeds but haven't planted them.

Yesterday was taking photo's of four types of beans with the flowers, green beans, dried pods and seeds.  It seemed a waste to throw out the little flowers so I ate them!  Guess what?....a mellow bean taste, sounds great for a green salad doesn't it..........for when one doesn't need any more green beans that it.

miy abutilon is the yellow version of the same, Pam.

I hadn't thought of adding calendula to stir fries. I will try that this week.
I had to look up abutilon. I have one in my garden but I have only heard it called Chinese lantern. Another one to try. I hope all varieties are edible. On Wikipedia my variety is the first photo on the top right.

Pam, fresh abutilon petals are succulent and sweet in a salad. I have been putting calendula petals into green smoothies, orange flecks amongst the green. :)

Oh yum! I think I will try stirfrying them. Have grown them for ointment and pest control. Thank you :-)

Calendula petals can be used in many things. I have thrown them into stir fries, yes. They are considered (and sometimes called and sold as) 'poor man's saffron'
