I love nasturtiums. I have a planter full of them and plant them on the edges of my raised gardens. I will hire my 5 year old grandsons to search for the seeds. Thanks Angela. From your neighbor in chandler. 🤗😊❤️
I love nasturtiums too. I have them in my garden. There were some that volunteered to come back. Some I planted this year. Thank you for sharing.
I started mine in the fall and all i had was leaves, not that I mind since I love the variation! Now since the sun has been out more, the flowers are finally blooming.
You made me excited to plant some this year! ❤
Nasturtiums are one of my favorites! Before I had a garden I was out with my roommates, staying at my aunt's cabin, and she had a huge mound of nasturtiums, so I picked off a couple of flowers and popped them in my mouth, and my roommates were HORRIFIED lol. I don't think it even occurred to them that flowers could be edible. Later I grew a lot of them in our front yard, and we added them to salads all the time. I love that they just bloom forever!! I bought a bunch of different seed varieties this year because I bought a house, and now I get to do whatever I want with my garden! It's going to be covered in nasturtium, hollyhock, and gladiolus. My crocuses are blooming (I wasn't sure if they would because I planted them in December) and it's got me so pumped for spring!!
Nasturtium pesto is great over fish, for a peppery kick.
I love these individual species videos. I saw some nasturtium seedlings at the nursery yesterday. I'm going back today to buy them!
They are yummy as well I grow them to eat in salads
How would you save seeds from them? I’m guessing there’s a drying period?
I have some I was going to plant are they only fall And winter Flowering plants ?
Love nasturtiums. Have them tucked into a couple spots in the garden. They recently started to bloom. Enjoy putting the leaves and flowers into a salad. If I collect enough seeds will try to pickle them.
I can never get mine to grow
I love the taste and exuberance of nasturtiums. They grow best for me in 90% clay, unamended. The poorer the soil the more blossoms. I struggled for years when I'd plant them in richly amended soil. They made nice foliage with barely 5 blooms per plant. I guess they really are a "weed" a k.a. a restorative or pioneer species.
they are so incredibly beautiful i hope to grow some this year ❤
how do you keep cabbage white away deom the nasturtium. I have heard that they are a catch crop? this is the 1st year ill be growing nasurtiums. 😊
Are you selling any of your own seeds?
What is a good trailing plant that will hold up in the summer months? I have raised garden beds that are metal and looking for a way to keep them cool in the dead of summer.
Whoever said nasties don't like being transplanted. I grew them huge in 2-inch pots and transplanted them, heavily root bound, into the garden, they immediately took off, did not even skip a beat! Love nasties!
🌱🍃♥️your video is amazing very good, I want to be with you
I’m in zone 6b in PA. I tried nasturtiums last year and they grew about 6” and fizzled out. I’ll have to try again!
Will they thrive in the spring and summer? Or just winter?
They hate my yard. I can't even get one to live. In all my areas, with varying levels of water…
