★ 5 Edible Companion Flowers (Growing, Benefits & Serving Ideas)

[@soniadusi6583]

In Italy you use young Borage leaves for omelettes, quiches, soups, fillings for pasta or spring rolls. You can do whatever you want with them, it's worth trying. Love your videos and your accent !

[@unicornpixels]

I love the research behind your videos, it goes beyond what we usually see in gardening videos :)

[@fiesebrise]

I have no interest in gardening but I find it really relaxing to watch your videos :D and the shed you've built is awesome! that really amazed me

[@ProjectDiaries]

Wow! Thank you. That's a really nice thing to message me. How did you find my channel if you don't like Gardening?

[@fiesebrise]

I'm not sure. I think I was on the phone with someone and they said something about planting in an egg shell. I looked it up on youtube, watched a video about it and then clicked randomly on one of your videos. You know what? I think I will plant a flower. Because now I know how to get the seeds and how to plant them. And I may also make myself a nice seed packet :D If I do I will show it on your facebook group!

[@ProjectDiaries]

I couldn't ask for more. Look forward to seeing them :)

[@lisakukla459]

Thank you for this! I went out and got borage and pansy seeds after watching this video the first time, so I now have all 5! I'm eager to have the chance to use them all in the kitchen. Very excited for more videos on this subject!

[@ProjectDiaries]

That's fantastic! Let me know how you get on. Borage video on the way... :)

[@patiencekates5975]

Love this video, thanks

[@garylawlor2288]

I planted Nasturtiums once in my garden but get some back every year through self seeding. Great plants 😆

[@thelegendofthedogfacedwoma3708]

I planted two plants. A white nasturtium and a dark burgundy/purple one. I now have nasturtiums everywhere, and they've crossbred and inbred so much that I have orange ones, red ones, these lovely papery musk-pink looking ones, rich wine coloured ones, and yellow with orange tongues. No sign of white or purple since the first two however. And they grow everywhere. They climb everything. They climbed a chickenwire fence taller than I am. They grew up between the timber of my deck, so I had a nasturium bush in the middle of wood. They're fantastic.

[@safasaiid255]

very peaceful voice love the videos, sweet n short with easy methods .thank you

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! :)

[@doralove8936]

[@smeagolthebulldog]

Every time I watch one of your videos I realise that I've happened upon a gem of a channel.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! :)

[@dougandcandacebishop7259]

I LOVE watching your videos. I'm from the Pacific northwest (Canada) and a 'black thumb' gardener but I'm willing to try again. Thanks so much for your simple encouragement!

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're very welcome :)

[@southstar577]

excellent vid and i like that you specified the species of edible flowers in the description.

[@ProjectDiaries]

I'm glad you noticed. It's caused some controversy

[@tamarabrennan1988]

That is a beautiful video! Thank you for all the information. I want to congratulate you for the artful way you produced this video. Nice work.

[@easypeasy2991]

Just got some nasturtium and borage seeds today. Seeing this video is super encouraging!

[@ProjectDiaries]

In that case you may want to check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKakl6uplNKEp5I I also have a Borage video coming soon :)

[@einsteinswife]

Your edible flowers lifted my spirit; I love solutions to fight the blues....please the bees, and lighten up my little plot.. Thank you, again! BIg, warm embrace! Hope you'll have a wonderful spring too. 🙏❤🌟🌷🍀😟😊

[@ProjectDiaries]

I'm glad it cheered you up! Haven't seen a message from you in a while. Hope you're well :)

[@MariAng2591]

I subscribed after watching the passion fruit video (because I'm looking forward to plant some) and I'm loving your channel! keep up the good work!!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Good to hear! Thanks :)

[@theforagersgarden]

Don't forget that some of these can be consumed as a tasty tea 🙂 I like to mix a blend of lavender, rose petals and lilac into my tea pot 💜

[@errolcollins7647]

I grew nasturtiums last year for the very first time, i loved them, I used the leaves as wraps they are very tasty especially when mixed with salads. I will be definitely growing more this year especially the Empress of India.

[@randomness8819]

Yum! Thank you for a delicious tip. Assalamu alaykum peace be unto you 🥰

[@jeffricks2640]

cool i got two of these readying for allotment already.....happy friday

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Really enjoyed watching this. It puts one in the mood for Spring. Fantastic photo at 5:58. I need some nasturtiums. I’ve never tried them before. I can’t say enough good things about marigolds. I’ve even used them to dye some wool yarn. So fun! Borage and lavender I treat with caution. In our zone given the right conditions they can dominate the other plants.To prevent a naturally occurring monoculture I keep them in containers. Right now the turf grass is peppered with purple, blue, and white wild violets. The local nurseries are bursting with Pansies. So cheerful. ☀️

[@ProjectDiaries]

Check this video out if you'd like to see more about Nasturtiums :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKakl6uplNKEp5I

[@peacefarmlesotho9065]

this has been so informative on my end. i want to start growing this flowers. i live in a temperate climate though

[@sabaidris6930]

Hi! I enjoy watching your videos, they are simple and clear. I had no idea that we can eat marigolds 😄 We used to call Pansies Dog Flowers I had asked you about the seasons in which we can grow certain fruits with a different account. Thanks for the answer. My tomato plant failed, maybe because the soil wasn't rich enough. But my neices and nephew bury all kinds of seeds. Their mango plant started growing and they're excited about it. It's really hard to keep them from watering it everyday. It's humid now a days so they need to water it much for now. Thanks for the videos. 👍

[@jillspady6450]

Who doesn't love a man who knows flowers, and how to mix a cocktail!

[@Kat-cq5mu]

French Marigolds is also my favorite variety besides the Mexican Marigolds!🙌🏼🤗💚🌱

[@janetbull2616]

Thanks for this video I found it very informative and as a new gardener I will certainly consider their benefits as companion plants in my raised beds 👍

[@high_stakes_ikea7087]

I loooved pansies and nasturtiums as a kid- drove my mum nuts cause I kept picking all hers

[@da1stamericus]

Dragon Fire me to I'm planting chillies and lupins

[@dragonfire70]

marc jeff had to look up lupins.they don't grow around here. I'm curious if I create a micro climate if I can get them to grow in garden. thanks for the info.

[@nunomachado2191]

Just FYI: You see “marigolds” listed as edible flowers here and other places such as books, internet, etc, but in fact it’s the flowers of Calendula-not Tagetes-that make great additions to a summer dish. Flowers from Tagetes marigolds may be irritating to the skin, so I do not recommend ingesting them. Great video though, very informative as always.

[@rosiesgarden1820]

Thank you, another great Video. I must say, amazing timing to. I was just thinking ......... What am I going to use as pollinators. "Air High Five" - You answered that for me!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Oh! I'm glad. *Air High Five back atcha :)

I have some watercress seeds but nowhere to grow them yet. I will do a video in the future for you :)

Thank you, Mister (I don't know your name)! You are a very good teacher, and easy to learn from. I didn't know there were so many types of Marigolds. I wonder now if I bought some tall ones for my garden....yikes! i wanted to plant them around the edges of my raised beds and plant my veggies towards the inside of the beds. Would it be a good idea to plant them between the veggies, or along the perimeter?

[@ProjectDiaries]

Absolutely! The are a great companion plant and will repel pests. I'm Lee btw :)

[@KrisLikesThis]

[@silentthunder2108]

Should u plant marigold and basil together? Or just close by?

[@stumpynicholls268]

Can you grow these out in the open in the UK or do you need a polytunnel?

[@ProjectDiaries]

Out in the open if the weather holds out. It's been a little tricky this year. I will be uploading my how to videos for each flower soon...

[@sylviameyer76]

I wonder if you can help me out with some additional information ... When you are talking about pansy, is it viola cornuta or viola X Wittrockiana you are talking about? I like the former better, but am not sure if it works like the latter. Thanks in advance

[@ProjectDiaries]

It was some time ago that I did this video but if I remember correctly All Pansies are Violas but not all Violas are Pansies. If the flower has four petals pointing upward and only one pointing downward you’re looking at a Pansy. If the flower has two petals pointing upward and three petals pointing downward you’ve got a Viola. Both Violas you mention are edible :)

[@sanskritiscreations9373]

Is cosmos flower edible?

[@AngelCsh28]

Yummy...

[@einsteinwallah2]

it would be interesting to do a video on two flowers used by ayurvedists to make herbal (medicated) wines: dhai (woodfordia fructicosa) and mahua (madhuca longifolia) ... there may be other too and in other cultures similar flowers may exist ... these two are used as yeast inoculum for many ayurvedic wines ... i think so there is a third called priyangu (i do not know its binary name) which is sometimes used in ayurvedic wine making ... in india they make gulkand jam from roses used as a sweetener of paan (piper betel) preparation as also in preparing some herbal medicines

[@rosecottagegarden]

[@painpainwo]

Most of these flower seeds are out of stock.. where to buy them?.?

[@jenniferklein9191]

Depends where you live, most hardware stores carry seeds. Baker seeds (online) are heirloom seeds& great too. Check your local seed banks (local Gardners sharing seeds)

[@TheGohbomba]

Can you send me a nasturtiums seed and how it cost to send it , I live in malaysia , I like to grow it but cannot find the seed that sold in nursery home depo

[@ProjectDiaries]

I have left links in the description box below this video for places you may be able to get them online. I didn't harvest any seeds this year so I can't actually send any myself

[@TheGohbomba]

[@junkjake8626]

Can you eat pansy leafs?

[@ProjectDiaries]

If it's in the video, you can eat it :)

[@junkjake8626]

@@ProjectDiaries No, I meant the leaves in particular. I noticed you only mentioned eating the flower and I wanted to know if any other part of the plant is edible? (also I know this reply if four months late sorry I don't normally check my email)

Your tutorials are inspirational, they have really helped me and now some asylum seekers plus a family of refugees. You are an amazing young man and I have only just realised that you have real health issues. I do wish you well, food and the way it is grown is so important to health and well being. You have helped so many people I hope you can get some ease and improvement. When C19 is understood and contained, check out if there is a proper hydrotherapy pool you can get to. Water Temp 33 degrees cleaned by ultra violet light and loads of sand filters so good for skin and scars etc, check out Sandgate Hydrotherapy pool ik Kendal Cumbria. A descent medical herbal therapist might help too. You are brilliant amazing, Courage Mon brave! Good luck and Thank You, bet your grandad is proud of you.
