Nasturtium Noshing

The LipsYard Garden is producing lots of edible goodness: Tomatoes, Potatoes, Peppers, Carrots, Beans, Summer Squash, Cucumbers, Raspberries, and these edible flowers, Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus!)

All parts of the plant are edible. The flower is most often consumed, making for an especially ornamental salad ingredient; it has a slightly peppery taste reminiscent of watercress. Because of that flavor, Nasturtiums receive their name from the scientific name for Watercress (Nasturtium officinale.)

They have showy, often intensely bright flowers, with color so intense that sometimes taking a sharp, in focus photo can be quite difficult.

Making things difficult for John McCain and his supporters, is the One-Two punch of Hillary and Bill Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

The Senator from New York said it best, "No way. No how. No McCain. Barack Obama is my candidate. And he must be our President."

Isn't it interesting that all the conservatives can do is throw stones at Obama, without having anything to say about John McCain. That's because they don't like him either!

I can't wait for President Clinton to lower the boom tonight, and bring an end to the Bush era once and for all.
