Did you know you can eat the flowers from a lot of vegetables? We eat some vegetables before they start to flower, but some flower quite quickly. Here are some you can try:

  • Rocket - creamy-white flowers with a bit of a kick!
  • Runner beans - red and juicy flowers
  • Peas - white, crunchy and sweet

Always check with somone before you try a vegetable flower you don't know in case they are poisonous - like potato flowers!

A famous gardener called Bill Mollison once said: "You don't have a slug problem, you have a duck deficiency!"
