I have been wrestling with a wicked head cold all week long. Thankfully I am feeling 100% from the neck down, but from the neck up I am miserable and pathetic, you all know that look....watery eyes, chapped nose and upper lip, and the nasally voice that no one can understand. Nothing like a good cold to put the brakes on one's indoor seed sowing and canning intentions. I would scatter seeds and dusty soil-less mix with every sneeze. Gathering supplies out in the cold shed is not so appealing. Trying to make a final decision on what tomato varieties to sow is not so appealing. Juggling hot jars and boiling liquids is not so appealing. Hmph.
This lack of gardening happenings is however, a good opportunity to do something else I have been meaning to do, which is to show you all a fun gift I received over Christmas:
Those are not candy coated confections, but instead are clay and compost coated seeds. My sister thoughtfully chose the 'Herbal Tea Selection', and I just think this garden candy is fabulous!
Lemon Balm, Stinging Nettle, Borage, and Chamomile bon bons. These garden truffles have even been dusted with things like coffee, pepper, and cinnamon- the creators organic method of trying to keep pests from enjoying your garden confections.
Love it!

In my house those would have gotten eaten. One time I made dog biscuits and my Husband came up to me that night and said "I ate those cookies you made, but I hate to say they are not very good". I could just see him eating the compost covered seeds now.
Ha! Oh that gave me a chuckle Jane.
Oh my goodness! Can these be any cuter? What is the name of the company that sells these. I'll have to get them as gifts!!
I believe they came from Uncommon Goods meemsnyc.
Now that is one of the coolest gifts I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing that, definitely made me smile!
That is such a sweet idea...some people are just so creative!
That's so cool! I didn't I think if that?
They look totally edible!! What a GREAT idea.
Looks like a great gift and easy to make if I had the directions. I planted something similar last year that I received as a gift. They looked like balls you'd throw in the bath water. Quite a few wildflowers came up from them.
Those are so cute! Do you just plant the whole thing?
