A Live Tasty Healthy Treat

 Arugula Flowers, Watercress Flowers, Kale Flowers and Chive Flowers.    I like to save the seeds from these to make Sprouts.  And if at just the right time I take the tip top flowers off, it makes the seed pods swell and seems to increase the seed bounty.  Gets done faster because all the energy goes to the seeds, not to more flowers. And the longer it takes the greater chance of Fungus or bug damage.  So we Feasted. I made us a salad with these potent little Babies and with Salad mix we traded for at Market, and Cukes and carrots we traded for (Thank you Sweet Leaf).   Aren't they so beautiful.
 The White flowers are the Arugula (yum), Small yellow are the Watercress, the large yellow are the Kale, and the Purple are the Chives...(really tasty in soup by the way)
