Louise Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 My Rabbit used to love them He once went round and ate the flowers heads off every marigold in the garden mum was really chuffed when she saw that Still that was 20 years ago hopefully she has forgiven me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I sometimes put the petals in a salad - they don't appear to have much of a taste - they just look pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I've eaten the leaves: Really good: Pretty peppery. Great in a mixed salad, and the petals do add colour, but don't taste of much. Trouble with the leaves is finding them without caterpillars on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
