\"CucumberA couple of weeks ago, following the post on growing edible flowers, I gave you a recipe for very pretty, very easy to make edible flower and cream cheese canap\u00e9s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I like to serve the canap\u00e9s on variegated nasturtium leaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
