They wrote: Pea Blossoms - NOTE: Flowering ornamental sweet peas are poisonous. Edible garden peas bloom mostly in white, but may have other pale coloring. The blossoms are slightly sweet and crunchy and they taste like peas. The shoots and vine tendrils are edible, with a delicate, pea-like flavor. Here again, remember that harvesting blooms will diminish your pea harvest, so you may want to plant extra.

If it doesn't produce edible pea pods Don't eat those flowers. You can go to the website and see what other flowers are edible.

Where Can I Buy Edible Lavender?
I don't mean made out of iceing I mean the real flower.
Where Can I Buy Edible Lavender?
There are several varieties of lavender, and all of them are edible. English lavender is considered the best for teas and French for flavorings, although any lavender will work.
Most garden centers carry lavender. Check out on-line garden centers like Springhill, or Gurneys, as these catalog-based firms will frequently carry different varieties, and they are considerably less expensive than your local garden center.
If you are not in a position to plant or grow lavender, I would suggest you check your local apothecary store/alternative health/herbalist store, as they will more than likely have sprigs or sachets of untainted, organic edible lavender.
I do not recommend getting lavender from a commercially-sold lavender sachet or potpourri, as the aromas are frequently artificially enhanced, and can be aroma, flavor, or otherwise contaminated by other ingredients.
Here are two internet outfit that sells lavender in bulk at reasonable prices, and I am sure there are others if you do a quick Google search.

I'm wanting to make an edible flower arangment with fruit. What do I use to stick in the fruit?
How do you make the fruit stand up? I was wanting to do a chocolate covered strawberry one for my husband for valentines day, but I'm a little confused. Also, what kind of chocolate do you use to put on the strawberries? Every kind I've used ends up melting within minutes. Thanks so much!

You have to put the chocolate dipped strawberries in the freezer to get the chocolate hard. Also, use plastic sticks, you can find them at michaels. Ones that are sharp at the tips would be prefferred since it's easier to pierce the fruit on it.
Reply:use wooden shishkabob sticks
Reply:Use wooden/bamboo skewers/kebab sticks.They can be purchased from most places that sell anything to do with bar -be- cues,or possibly try a garden centre.
Reply:wooden skewers
Reply:What a sweet idea. Use kabob sticks (the wood ones). And there is a dark chocolate made for dipping.
Reply:I use the kabob sticks, the long ones and break them to the size I need. Be sure to soak them in water before inserting into the fruit.
Also, I get the dipping chocolate bark and add 2 ounces parafin to 1/2 pound chocolate. Makes it harder.
Reply:You can aways use a styrofoam base. Use long or short wooden skewers as you would when making a shish kebab.
For the chocolate you can use any flavour of chocolate chips, melted and dip the strawberries in. Chill in the refrigerator and then then wont melt.
Reply:light wooden skewer stick
Reply:tooth picks to make the fruit stand up.
use have to use the large chocolate rounds for melting. you can find these at cake and candy stores
Reply:or blunted tooth picks
Reply:I take it that you have tried the chocolate that they use for fondue
Reply:Try using kebab sticks (you should be able to find them in your local grocery store) They also have special chocolate in the produce department for dipping fruit into that should harden. But you will have to refrigerate the fruit to keep it hard.

Coriander/Cilantro bolting - where did the edible leaves go?
My Coriander/Cilantro have grown beyond the easily recognizable flat-feaf stage and onto a similarly patterned but pointed growth stage just before flowering. Will these pointed growths go flat or is there some sort of method of maintaining continuous flat-leaf growth for culinary use?
Coriander/Cilantro bolting - where did the edible leaves go?
I was just researching the same thing and found out that cilantro can bolt quickly - especially during the warmer months or if it has full sun. Once it bolts, it's not as good as a culinary herb.Trimming it down won't help either. It will only grow more lacy-type leaves. The only thing you can really do is plant new seeds every few weeks if you want a constant supply. You can let your cilantro bolt and then use the seeds to re-seed it. Also, you can buy "slow bolt" cilantro seeds at a garden center.
I hope that helps!

How is edible mustard made?
The hills are covered with yellow mustard flowers at this time of year. My grandson asks how you get hot dog mustard from these flowers.
How is edible mustard made?
The flower itself CANNOT produce table mustard. You must first allow these blooms to mature to seed. The seed is then soaked in distilled vinegar (overnight). This is necessary to begin to soften these extremely tough seeds. After soaking remove any excess vinegar, place the seed into a blender and puree until it is a very smooth paste. This paste you can then thin to appropriate consistency with water. Most restaurant whom prepare their own mustard will also add trace amounts of turmeric, paprika, garlic, or whatever their specific recipe calls for.
Hope this enlightens your grandson.
Reply:Dry mustard, water, maybe a little lemon juice and paprika.
