Re: Nastursiums

I threw a few handfuls of seeds into the Garden, I threw some Pansy, and some Geranium seeds, but I don't recollect casting Nasturtiums.

Re: Nastursiums

And did they all take and flower ?

Re: Nastursiums

They have a lovely peppery taste I love them.

Re: Nastursiums

It is the middle of winter and my Nasturtiums as usual have gone mad so you can imagine how they grow in summer. The lemon tree in the background gets smothered in them if you are not careful. They usually smother the weeds though I notice some surviving between the lemon tree and the Rosemary.



If you look closely you can see some seeds on the path bottom right.

Re: Nastursiums

Re: Nastursiums

Some of my mine have leaves as big as saucers, they have gone mad this year, I checked for caterpillars, none that I can see. What happened to caterpillars where did they go?

Re: Nastursiums

After a slow start they are great now , will certainly plant them again next year.

Re: Nastursiums

Pleased to read that Apricot, nows the time to save any seeds from the colours you want next year , be sure to dry them by spreading them out .

Re: Nastursiums

Had a few Caterpilars but nipped the leaves off with them on.
