what other seeds have produced

I thought this particular pot held the Empress of India Nasturtium. I’ve been waiting for the bright red flowers but so far all the flowers are this amazing bright orange.
In a medium black bowl I planted my cousin’s viola seeds. After a near fatal encounter with a too bright sun and too little water, so far all goes well.

sharing the salad

A side salad of sorts made with fresh grown flowers and sprouts from around the house, with a bit of red onion from the fridge. These salads have become a creative outlet. Luckily, so far, they are tasty too. Growing up, the only salads I ate were made of torn iceberg lettuce, sliced red tomatoes and maybe a chopped cucumber. The dressing was usually mayonnaise from a jar until my mom got into creamy bottled dressings. Recently, at a restaurant, I saw a salad being served. On a lovely china saucer sat a wedge of iceberg lettuce and upon its light green surface was drizzled a bit of white dressing. When I checked the menu for its price, I was a bit startled and could only think of my mom and had to chuckle.
the nasturtium are not forgotten …

It’s just that my cousin sent me a packet of viola seeds and so I became curious about the viola. The seeds have been planted and they are sprouting quite nicely. Meanwhile I decided to visit my favorite flower market where I picked up a few viola plants. The owner saw me coming and he just shook his head. “You just can’t stop yourself, can you?”
I confirmed with him that the flowers are edible and I’ve done a bit of my own research. So, if the winter was a time of the nasturtium, in their pots and on my plate, perhaps the spring will be one featuring the viola decorating this and that to be determined.
But, FYI, the nasturtium continue to grow, including a young pot of Empress of India. The cover of the seed packet suggests that all of the blooms will be dark red. So far all I see is a lot of dark green leaves with no indication of buds let alone blooms. So, I’m back to practicing that patience thing. 😉
well hello there

… when you walk through Ricky’s Flower Market. Spring has arrived (even if another flake or two might fall before month’s end). I love my indoor gardening but I do appreciate wandering through this outdoor market. A simple way of finding calm. 😉
and then even that color fades away leaving beauty
