Start with just a few bits of broken up chive flower Dave - they're quite strong, and if you go for whole heads of flowers it can be overpowering and put people off. You can always add more the next time.

You could get hold of a few wild garlic bulbs too and put them somewhere where they can grow year after year ... the leaves are deliciously garlicky - ours are growing now, so a nice early harvest - and the flowers look great and are also an exquisitely flavoursome and pretty addition to a salad ... so long as you like garlic!

also Dave, violets, Pansys, Viola, Roses, flowering tyme, are all edible and lavender is good for flavouring as well as putting a little in the salad, but my favorite edible plant is nasturium ...nice and peppery

For anyone who hasn't watched A Farm for the Future, wants to see it again, or wants to share it with someone they know, it's now available on YouTube. Found it via a link from the permaculture association website.
