Yes i see the seeds Bruce ,I Didnt know they grew in low temps , what temprature is it now ? I usually pull mine up in October when they look pass their best .
I have a few trailing Nasturtiums among whats growing and they have gone up and over Shrubs , . I shall put a photo on later of these ..
It is just past mid winter with max temps about 17 to 20'C (it was 24 today) and minimums below 10'C (9'C last night)
Thanks for that Eliza, just what exactly do I have to ?
some of your seeds will probably have dropped off now , will be green , spread them n a dry place , ive done some of mine on the window sill or a work top.
They will go brown as they dry and shrink ,i then put them in an envelope marking what colour plant they came off,
next year just press them in with your finger in the garden (cover them with soil )where you want them to flower , i think i put mine in beginning of May .
nasturtiums are beautiful for sure but here they seem to get black aphids, Sometimes overnight.
Do does anyone else have this problem?
if so what do you spray them with?
My nasturtiums are lovely now, I was worried there were no flowers but I was wrong they are now in full bloom, I snip off some leaves so you can see the flowers.
Never had any luck with nasturtiums but we kept marigold seeds from last year and they went mad, we just scattered them outside and we've had a lovely display.
