my edible balcony

As part of the Eat Local Challenge that I participated in last week, I made a short video of the most local food I eat -- the plants on my balcony. In this video I discuss the edible plants nasturtium, Campanula, Calendula, and tea (Camellia sinensis). For more information on the tea plant, keep checking my blog for the video in-the-works on local caffeine.

  • kevin - great video. your edible nasturtium made me wonder about other edible flowers. What would be your suggestions for an edible bouquet?

  • For an edible bouquet? I guess that depends on where you live and what time of year. Here in California in May (aka here and now) I would suggest calendula, nasturtium, and campanula (no surprise) as well as mustard, wild radish, pansies and violets, marigolds, and many more like zinnias and squash if you wait for summer.
