And marigolds are calendula aren't they?
do they have pretty little blue flowers? like little bells?
The type I have is purpleyblue, I think they were that shape, only planted it last spring/summer and can't remember!
i'm almost certain you have campanula - take some piccies in a month or 2 - they'll be in flower then
you can split the plant - it grows practically anywhere and spreads too - you often see it hanging over walls as it's great to use for camoflage on broken walls, paving stones etc
best of all though it's edible PLUS keeps its leaves through winter
campanula is edible yes but i would be cautious with the aquilegia, there are toxins in it, probably why your bun avoids it
I've began my foraging, but so far just brambles and Hawthorne, but plan on scouring for sow thistle, clover, dandilions, Plantain, mayweed and I think this year my buns can try nettle, can someone tell me can they eat the leaves straight away due to the sting??
I must try some of these ideas. I am always afraid to try new things so stick to the basics and these sound so lovely.
For a beginner, what would you recommend..............
We have hawthorn growing the other side of the fence which is now about 14ft high as the council won't come and trim it down :roll: So there is one thing.
Can anyone tell me if leaves with blemishes on are okay to feed? :wave:
