We went to a friend’s house a few months ago to see her chickens, you might remember the post. She had planted in their garden Nasturtiums. They are a vine that has pretty orange and red flowers that you can eat. They taste peppery. My mom got some seeds and planted them in our backyard. Finally they bloomed so we put them in the salad that night for dinner. They were tasty.

This is a good way to feel better about your food since you know where it comes from. Gardening is nice to do. I use it as part on my homeschool science work.
