    Hi Everyone,

    My mum freezes shrinking violet blossoms in icecubes to make them look interesting. Luckily they don't have enough time to blemish.

    They always add a little colourful zest to your G&T when you're sitting in your haven admiring your hard work! :lollol:

    Hugs

    Adrian

    I don'd drink personally so mum gets a nasty glare from me when she goes all "showoff" on me haha. I'm starting war with the crop of nasturtiums seeds she gave me! I'm gonna dig out prettier ones!

    Eeeeeek! Don't pluck the lass of all her heads! She needs some to watch your garden! Leave about 25% of her actual growth size (worth of blossoms), so you takw 25, you leace 75.

    Shes an odd one which I neveer found to flour after losing her buds :(
