[MyOwnStickFigure]

Please read some books on edible flowers and wild foraging. You will learn what you can eat and what is not safe to eat. Best of luck to you.

[ivysickgirl]

can you eat lavender? probably a dumb question to ask maybe but i'm curious.. :]

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Yes! I believe I had it in this salad. It's very strong though, I don't really like the flavor. I have learned lol

[ivysickgirl]

ooh` very nice

[avaleila]

There is a type of lavender that is more palatable than the rest. Its called hidcote lavender. Try it.

[suchadambidiot]

@MyOwnStickFigure i had a salad like that once, but what i didnt know was that i had eaten some detura flowers, and i was trippin balls for 2 days....last time i get stoned and eat the garden....

[loveandmojitos]

OMG YOU MISSED TWO THINGS! try baby spinach leaves and dandelion leaves... so good

[AutomaticElagence]

Wow that is just amazing.

[PHRONESISvsAKRASIA]

Mmmm. You would love the place I grew up in: seaweed direct from the ocean and dried in the sun right on the water's edge, forests and meadows in abundance to forage through. Unless you're strictly a cultivated flowers-and-foods man?

[galaxycat3]

BEcause of this video - I am Now going to go to the grocery and get a wide array of veggies and colourful stuff - thanks for the inspiration!!! :)

[peppernme]

Hmmm, I thought I just posted... Oh well...

This is beautiful and I didn't know you could each the squash blossoms. I always learn something new from you. :) Thank you.

[Stephanie198907]

[joyisaware]

that's the most wonderful salad i've seen :D

thanks for sharing!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

aw, thank you! i made another one this morning and enjoyed it with fresh nantes carrots, candy striped beet, parsley and lemon cucumber juice!

[laceyoswald]

So beautiful!

[fruitycrumble]

oo flowers! thinking of you johnny and hoping you are ignoring emails, focussing on yourself, and on keeping nutrition digested. you can do it. ignore anyone who is unhelpful to you. helpful people who live nearby are good! x

[beyonceknows]

i had no idea you could eat flowers! wow! that looks goood!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

There are many edible ones and many that will get you VERY sick or kill you if you eat them. It's all about knowing what is safe and how to identify flowers. What you don't know can hurt you, big time, so please invest in learning which ones are okay to eat --- if you are going to eat them. I'd hate to see people go wild from this video, pick and get sick.

[beyonceknows]

thats a gd idea but i wouldnt personally just pic anything and eat it.

[PringlesMinis]

The zuchinni flowers we ate from our garden looked like your orange flowers,too :) My mom likes em' w/olive oil cause that's what they were doin on the food network,but I haven't had them like that yet. :)

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Hi love! It's nice to see you commenting here! So listen, the blossoms are so delicious. I am glad you are enjoying them too. Try stuffing them, okay? I think you and Mom will really like them stuffed. You might really fancy them stuffed with pesto sauce and a nice gourmet cheese - not sure if you eat these types of things...you could slightly roast them with herbs and olive oil too. I could recommend raw stuffings but it may be too time consuming for you.

[PringlesMinis]

We loooove pesto,my mom grows fresh basil too,omg I love it. That's such a great idea to stuff the flower blossoms,I'm gonna tell her!!!!!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Wonderful, you two should have a finger food feast with stuffed blossoms this weekend!!!

[PringlesMinis]

OH MY GOD THAT LOOKS SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!! My mom's garden she grows zuchinni,and we were picking the flowers & eating em' the other day,lol,we didn't even know they were edible till we saw it on the food network!

[marysatan]

the salad's so-so but your prayer was beutiful

[wsjulz]

Looks more like flower-arranging lol. (Sorry just being cheeky).

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Didn't taste that way my dear!

[LHStostardome]

Beautiful salad! Thanks for sharing. I must have missed the video with you and your Mom flying the kite. That would have been nice to see. Well, I'm happy to see you are picking yourself out of the rut, and doing good things for yourself.

You certainly deserve it Johnny!  Hugs : )

[FrossetBlod]

Wow!!

That is so creative and pretty!

Thank you for this :)

[theskinnypig]

Amazing, beautiful!!! This makes me VERY happy to watch!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

BEET!!! I DID SO WELL WITH IT TODAY!!! I am picking myself out of the rut/relapse!!!

[mollyproductions4u]

ooh that salad looks good! your dog is cute too.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Dante says woof woof = thank you!!!

[NunaFeedTheDucks]

What a beautiful picture the flower food makes, so inspirational if your thinking of going Raw. I watch your videos all the time and inclued you in my prayers. I love the video of you and your mother flying a kite, you seem to have a beautiful relationship with with her. You must take after her, looking young for your age, you seem to have a beautiful relationship with her. Take care and thank you for the exquisite rainbow platter x x x

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Thank you so much!!! What a wonderful picture to paint: inspiration for those wanting to go raw or include more raw! I didn't even think of that. I have been RAW and in love with it for three years now, would never go back : ) Ps. Everyone thinks my Mom is my sister!!!

[Tearsonmypillow87]

How... how do the flowers taste? Did it take a while getting used to?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

It will detox you like a madman if not properly balanced, let's get that straight. The flowers taste INCREDIBLE, especially the chive flowers and squash blossoms. When you eat this sald you feel like an earth child that was born from the earth itself and not your Mother's anatomy, LOL. You feel as if you are part of the earth, it's your Mother. I LOVE IT!!! Eating raw is very SPIRITUAL for me. When you transition from Standard American Diet to raw/living you begin to appreciate food more

[MyOwnStickFigure]

and if you keep things simple but balanced you begin to appreciate EACH bite, every taste of each food being consumed. It's very humble. Most people don't even know what whole food tastes like since they mix so much stuff together... If you want to start eating edible flowers, start out with only a few kinds of flowers - taken in small amounts. Growing your own or foraging is BEST. Do not eat flowers that aren't organically grown. Read and learn about what you can and can't eat, some are danger!

[Angitia41]

wow that looks yummy *s*

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Gotta love God's garden goods. Are you still getting your produce delivery?

[Angitia41]

ohh yes.. and my pca's dad is also giving me things from his garden..*s*.. now i get double

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Are you getting in purslane?

[Angitia41]

no *s*

[totalH20]

yummy! ^^ x

[MyOwnStickFigure]

It was beyond that even!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

haha my german shepherd was sniffing the table in the begining, how cute!
