Here are some unusual activities for March.
1. Apple trees will start blooming around here soon
and possibly in your area also. The flowers are
edible. Look up some recipes and give them a try.
2. Lilac's are also edible and ideal to use as a timer
for garden plantings. Do you know when they bloom?
3. Walk around and prune branches from any plant or
fruit tree that is showing buds near opening. Bring
them inside and place in a vase of water. Possible
rewards are fragrance and flowers.
4. Some of the earliest blooms are from tubers. Do you
know which ones are edible? A good way to avoid mistakes
is to start an edible flower garden. This will provide
interesting edibles for much of the year.
