Violets in Bloom

Just a few beginning to bloom today.  I am hoping to have a dozen or so to place in ice cube trays for Easter Lemonade.  Light showers today, that should burst more into bloom.


Floral Ice Cubes:
Add water to the ice cube tray until only half full and place one flower in each cube. Freeze until firm. Then add water to the top and freeze again.  Freezing it in two stages will keep the flowers from floating to the top of the cube.

  5. Thank you Carrie. Also since you are growing some veggies now you might want to buy a package of Borage Seeds. They are easy to grow and the flowers purple/blue and perfect for ice cubes.
