I give you the receipt I use. So, take 4-5 cloves of garlic, cut them in half and boil them for 15 minutes. Then add cinnamon (a tea spoon or so). Once the mixture is cold, add a big spoon of white vinegar, and a big spoon of hydrogen peroxide). Spray it under the leaves, repeat within 5 days. 🙂 beautiful plant by the way

Happened to me several times on different plants: I used (very) diluted Marseille soap sprayed on napkins. Just wipe them off delicately to remove them. You can do the same with neem oil. I tried the garlic thing, its not worth it!
Good luck and do it asap!

Looks like an ant (more likely ants) is maintaining a bug farm….
Assuming you don’t want to use pesticide (nasturtium are great for salads, leafs, flowers and fruit – that’s why I grow them myself!):
Sprits with a mix of water, 5% vinegar and a bit of dish soap and wipe down the infected areas. This will need repeat every day or two
You can also check if there are ladybugs for sale in your area, they do great helping your garden free of pests!

These are Black Bean Aphids.
You will need White Oil, you should be able to get it from your local hardware store.
