Can I eat evening primrose seeds from my garden ?
Comments (2)Whole plant is edible as a vegetable. Add flowers to salads, or use them as a garnish. Use leaves in salads. Seeds can be chewed, or cooked in breads and biscuits, or steamed, or roasted in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 180C and sprinkled on food like pepper. Leaves and roots can be eaten fresh. The roots are sometimes eaten like olives as an after-dinner treat, or boiled like potatoes. As with most herbs, the health benefits can come with a price tag. Evening Primrose should be used under professional supervision, and should not be used by people suffering from epilepsy. I suggest you research further....See MoreHAVE: Pink Peony Poppy Seeds

Comments (3)If there is a lot of leaf/damage loss, let the plant recover before harvesting. If it is minor, harvest as you wish but no more 1/3 of the living plant material at a time. Holes may be unsightly but will be unnoticeable when the leaves are dried and ground. FataMorgana...See MoreCottonseed meal? Will my crazy dogs eat it like they eat alfalfa?
Comments (30)I have been using Mills Magic and various Tones, usually right before a big rain. It's a time-consuming process since I have to pull back the mulch, scratch in the fertilizer thoroly and then replace the mulch. To keep the dogs off I lay empty flats (the plastic trays that six-packs of annuals come in). I still find soil disturbed here and there and guilty looking dogs with mustaches of dirt on their golden faces! Am going to back off on the process this year by relying on compost, liquid feed and alfalfa tea instead. Most of my garden is established shrubs and OGR's and I want to see how they do on this regimen. After all I'm not growing for exhibition!...See MoreSkybird - z5, Denver, Colorado
