Beyond the Squash Blossom

Anyone who gardens knows that most vegetables are edible at many stages of development.  We are having a great time sampling baby beet greens, young arugula and tender young potatoes.
Here is an image of one of our zucchini squash blossoms.  They open up their bright yellow pedals to face the morning sun. This is the invitation to our honey bees and big black fluorescent bumble bees to collect a little nectar and contribute to the pollination of our vegetable garden.  As far as vegetables go, they don’t get much younger than the blossom…beautiful and edible!
