Heating and cooling account for about 56% of the energy use in a typical U.S. home. This makes them the biggest opportunity for saving money on your energy bill. Flowers are yummy!
As spring flowers begin to bloom all over the US, most people will marvel at their beauty, but a select few of us will lick our lips as many flowers make tasty treats. This is only true if you have a pesticide-free garden and the flowers are not growing close to the road or any other places that harbor little nasties (a pig farm or a sewage treatment plant, for instance).
I wrote about the tasty, edible dandelion a while back, but here are seven more delicious floras to add to your spring salads and use as edible garnishes in your favorite dishes.
- Anise Hyssop
- Sunflower
- Carnation (carnation instant breakfast anyone?)
- Roses
- Chamomile
- Vervain (also keeps away vampires... bonus!)
- Lilac
A small word of caution: Many different plants share the same name as other plants. I've found articles saying these flowers are edible (and have actually tried a few), but if you eat them and they make you sick, don't come crying to me.
