Flower Harvest at Lizzie's


Brooklyn-grown flowers, from seed to table

Poor Lizzy. We went to her house to see how the test flowerfarm plot was growing and stole most of her flowers. Despite the limited sun, the Zinnias, Celosia, Gomphrena and Borage were all blooming. I was most happy to see the dark Scabiosa that we fell in love with in the Rose Arc at Brooklyn Botanic last year. The next flower harvest is all Lizzie's. Many thanks to her for a plot of land to play around in and for grilling up a delicious dinner in celebration.
