One of the things we do when we are not working in the hot rod shop is tend to our fruit trees and vegetable garden. The raspberries are ready, so each night we pick and freeze the fruit in preparation for making jam. We are also harvesting lettuce, kale, spinach, yellow squash and nasturtiums. Nasturtium leaves and flowers have a pleasant peppery flavor and are great in salads. At the request of The Skirt Bob threw some into his cream cheese dip. With all the other ingredients it was hard to detect the subtle flavor of nasturtium, but it sure was pretty. Nasturtiums are related to watercress and mustard and are super easy to grow. Honey bees love them too!
