I suspect the cloves are actually cloves - the sort you add (ground up) to Christmas cakes, mincemeat etc. Very spicy!

Then I shall have to make four batches,two with garlic and two with cloves and wait and see!

If it says cloves why would you want to try anything other than cloves?

I dont know why but I just assumed they meant garlic cloves though now I think about it cloves is probably what they meant. Anyway,I will still try both and see what comes of it.

Now for the seeds!

Ok I have some ideas for using leaves and things. Has anyone got a recipe for pickling the seeds or do I just pickle as I would anything else. Do I need to salt first or brine?

Any recommendations for spices to use?

Thanks all.

I'll probably have some left for sowing and growing for next year - at least I hope so.

Nasturtiums are v.high in Vit C, so v.good for guinea pigs which, like us, can't manufacture their own. There, bet you didn't know you were related to a guinea pig!
