Not only they add a splash of color and detail to salads, but they are also quite tasty.
Coloured Giant Beans
Such a beautiful pink & black pattern. I bought the seeds at the market in Greece.
Purple harvests
Plums and black bean pods. I really enjoy the color of the pods and these bush beans also have purple flowers.
June brings strawberries
These are big but we also have lots of tiny wild strawberries. They taste a bit like raspberries and make an excellent ground cover.
Balcony salad
Colorful cherry tomatoes, spicy rockets and beautiful edible nasturtium flowers. All from the balcony.
Purple radish
Possibly from a seed that got cross pollinated with a purple variety. A nice surprise and added color to my quiche.
Black bean harvest
A favorite from Brazil, I am really happy they are growing well here in Berlin.
Current balcony blossoms
Lots of color! Hope the cucumber is being lucky on the bee-Tinder, so far only female flowers.
Upcycled vase
The Brazilian corner at the Mauerpark community garden has a sense of humor.
Beans of many colors
Plant what you like to eat. You can even get your seeds from the same package you bought for cooking.
