Floral Infusion

Our flower gardens are exploding in floral goodness.

 

While these look good enough to eat, we decided to leave them as a feast for the eyes (and the bees)...except for one type - the chive flowers. 

As with all herbs, clipping the flowers is a good thing to do as it encourages leaf growth.  Much to the chagrin of the honey bees, we used the chive blossoms in our garden to make chive-infused vinegar.  Yum! 

In a week or two, this will be perfect for making homemade summer salad dressings for all those garden greens we have been eating.  We made a jar for our CSA families too!
