My first was in a martini, it is just meant to be garnish but they are edible, I saw a nasturtium leaf garnishing a well known local Michelin star gaffs dish the other day.

fuck i could murder a dirty martini right now.

Some blueberries. Not really sure but this plant has been yellow since the end of last year and I've given it a load of bits and bos without any joy. Think I'll gI've it a fresh pot with some new medium for next year.

And the strawberry patch. Lots more decent looking flowers...disappointing amount of fruit so far.

Everything looks great DST. I love fennel and apparently everyone else in the house does too as nothing left here. Got to get some more

Nasturtium blossoms are an awesome garnish and they get a lot of play in my kitchens. I love chive flowers too this time of year.

Blueberries like soil slightly acidic. Farmers here are always mulching with pine sawdust. I bet your soil is too high ph and it's locking out N.

Good suggesstion, thanks. My wifes Uncle in Toronto thought it would be a good idea to mulch pine bark into his veg garden and had a terrible season as the soil was too acidic for his general veggies. I am still getting fruit, the plant just looks like crap.......saying that, the magpies around here eat most of them before I get a chance. PRobably yield about a muffins worth!

Acid and iron.

I have been adding coffee grounds and bat guano to mine and it is starting to perk back up!

Nice Ferrari!

Blueberry muffins from the garden. Cinnamon sprinkled on top...no sugar butter icing or whatever you call it as we find it just gets too sickly for us.

Getting it's green back the blueberry. I kept it in the same pot. Have bottom dressed with extra medium and plenty kalk for the ph. Pot also had a freaking ant population in it....had real problems with them again this year.
Keeping green thumbs crossed.
