I'm thinking spring may finally be here and time to start my garden for the year. I live in a 2d floor apartment so my gardening is in containers. This year it will be herbs, spices and edible flowers. Listed below are some edible flowers you can grow in pots even if you have a large garden.
Pot/Container gardens can save you money. You can create them very inexpensively.
Buy one packet of flower seeds like sweet alyssum; divide the seeds among various pots and soon you'll have lovely blossoms scent the air.
Have a large pot? Mix various colorful seeds for a variety of color.
You don't have to buy expensive pots for your plants. You can use any item just be sure there are drainage holes or a row of stones to avoid water accumulating and having root rot.
Grow herbs like basil, thyme, rosemary, lavender in pots and make your own fresh spice rack.
You can even grow edible flowers. One of my favorites is Nasturtiums--they have a peppery flavor.
Violets have a sweet and sometimes tangy or spicy flavor.
Marigolds have a spicy, herbal or lemon flavor, depending on the variety.
Always be careful that any flowers you choose to eat have been grown without pesticides or other chemicals.
