Nasturtiums not well

[Bal]

Mine are in hanging baskets this year, but next year I will put them in the veg beds.

...........and the seedpods

I hadn't thought of stuffing the flowers 'til I read 7 Ways to Use Nasturtiums in Food - wikiHow

Pick the protein of first though

I planted nasturtiums once several years ago and they have come back every year since. I either let them grow in situ, transplant them or dig them out if they are growing in a totally unsuitable place. I grow them as a sacrificial plant. So many nasties, particularly blackfly, prefer them to my crops and as a bonus they look nice.

Mine are a sacrificial plant too, hardly an aphid on anything else and they are so pretty.

Hi

Remember when I was a kid and we collected caterpillars from a neighbours garden who grew around his borders nastersums and I can understand nowo why he never sent us packing.

Grow them now on my plot which attract all the well not all but a significant amount of critters a which saves my cabbages and crops that the caterpillars love

Happy gardening
