Another batch of my favourite Cayenne Chilli Sambal. The Chillies have done so well this season. I’ve harvested nearly 2.5kgs so far. #chillies #chilli #chillisambal #preserving #preservingtheharvest #gardening #gardeningaustralia #urbangarden #urbangardening #inmygarden #instagarden #ilovegardening #inmygardentoday #instagardeners_feature #thehappygardeninglife #happygardeninglife #organicgarden #organicgardening #growfoodnotlawns #backyardgarden #veggiegarden #vegetablegardening #gardenchat #allotment #patch #veg #veggies #summergarden #kitchengarden #katskitchengarden
Edible flowers in my summer garden.......
Which one is your favourite?
.
1. Chive blossom, intense chive flavour, great in savoury dishes.
2. Basil flowers, tastes just like basil, fragrant and fresh for savoury dishes.
3. Dahlias, a green grass sort of flavour but amazing colour ranges, sprinkle their petals on cakes and in salads.
4. Mint flowers, a fresh mint flavour great in salads and drinks.
5. Cornflowers, a hint of spice, very pretty on cakes.
6. Violas, very mild flavour, so cute on cakes.
7. Agastache Liquorice Blue, also known as Korean mint, a minty aniseed flavour.
8. Lemon verbena, one of my favourite herbs, such a fresh lemon flavour and scent, wonderful in teas.
9. Dianthus, sprinkle petals on cakes, very mild taste.
10. Stock flowers, Matthiola incana, very strong floral flavour.
11. Hollyhock, a big edible bloom, hardly any flavour, all for looks.
12. Strawberry flowers, pretty but very mild flavour, I prefer to wait for the strawberries.
13. Rose, very fragrant flavour.
14. Snap dragons, mild flavour with robust fleshy blooms.
15. Scarlet Runner bean flowers, add them to a salad for a splash of colour, mild in flavour.
16. Zinnias, slightly bitter, remove the petals and add to salads.
17. Nasturtium, hot and peppery flavour.
18. Marigold, slightly bitter aftertaste.
19. Coriander flowers, pretty white blooms that taste just like coriander.
20. Zucchini and squash blooms, great for stuffing and frying.
21. Calendula, slightly bitter, pretty in salads.
22. Pansy, not much flavour, they look wonderful candied.
23. Sunflowers, this one is my favourite sunflower 'Italian white', the petals are slightly bitter.
24. Chamomile, wonderful in teas, they have a calming scent and are very intensely flavoured.
25. Fennel, aniseed flavoured blooms. .
It is important to always be safe, not all flowers are edible, if you are unsure about identifying a plant then do not eat it.
A pretty little courtyard garden in the Cotswold town of Burford, Oxfordshire.

I love abundance plantings, this profusion of Nepeta and roses is so successful. This private garden was part of the Wartnaby estate in Leicestershire. I found the image in a British #HouseandGarden from long ago. #landscapephotography #landscapedesign #landscaping #formalgarden #nepeta #roses #gardenrooms #englishgardens #englishgardenstyle #instagarden #perrenials #gardensofinstagram #gardeninspiration #gardenlovers #alleygarden #cottagestyle #cottagegarden #countryhouse #countryhousegarden #paisajismo #diseñodejardines #jardines #giardino #jardineria #summergarden #fountain #waterfeature #gardenwalk
Don’t be put off if you think it will take years to fill up a new garden
The bottom picture was taken in my garden on April 18 last year and the top was taken on August 21 - everything in the top picture was planted in the same year - roses, yellow rudbeckia and ivies will all grow quickly in their first year
The pink rose is ‘Boscobel’ and the orange one is ‘Lady of Shalott’

To brighten up this grey day i sent you some colour! Picture from last August from our greenhouse. I can't wait cleaning out the greenhouse again, plant some tomatoes, cucumber and decorate it with my collection of old gardenalia! But first we want to give it a different colour, we want to paint it in the colour 'cotswold green' it's a little bit greener than the colour it's got now. So if anyone has any suggestions for a brand who's got THE cotswold green please let me know. But before all this, it's back to the buildingsite (called livingroom) again Big project, but boy it will be pretty, (if i say so myself ) i can see the endresult in spite of all the building materials that surrounds us
Happy Sunday Xx
