  1. My friends and I growing up would suck the nectar out of #lilacs. They were delicious and edible! (But save some for the bees.)

    30+ Lilac Recipes (Yes, Lilacs Are Edible!)

    By Ashley Adamant

    "Edible lilacs (Syringa vulgaris) are one of the most delightful surprises of the spring kitchen, and yes, you really can eat them. Between the fragrant flowers and the short bloom window, lilacs have become one of my favorite things to preserve and cook with each May on our Vermont homestead."

    [...]

    "Lilacs start the edible flower season around here, but our homestead has delicious blooms to enjoy all summer long. We’re foraging dandelions for #dandelion flower recipes at the same time as the lilacs, then wild #violets come on for violet flower recipes, and #elderflowers show up a few weeks later for elderflower recipes. The old perennial patch of #BeeBalm by the kitchen door is edible and medicinal too, so the homestead kitchen stays fragrant with one bloom or another from May right through August."

  3. Oh the sweet smell of #elderflowers at mid-morning along with the sound of varied calls, songs, and shrieks of so many different birds, herons, and pterodactyls... 😌 #bloomscrolling

  4. It's a beautiful #summer day today. #Elderflowers #Chicory
    Today I'm going to stay inside & beat the heat until the evening (I need to harvest more garlic).
    I will be forced to do house cleaning, but I also have goals to make:
    - Mulberry leaf #dye
    - Elderflower champagne
    - #Homemade mayo
    - Ladyfingers
    (Reader, I might do 1 of these!😂)
