Forager Blanche Derby of Northampton says that she “honors the autumnal equinox with salad made from edible flowers and greens which are available at this time in September. Some are weeds while others are cultivated. Taking center stage is the lovely nasturtium whose leaves and peppery seeds are also tasty.” She also notes that not all flowers and leaves are edible: “Before consuming any plant be sure of its edibility.”
