Varigated Leaf Nasturtiums.....

Great blog Jacque.
If I had looked here first, I would have had an answer to my question on your picture. I quite like Nasturtiums, had never grown them before. But from your earlier pics mine just are not flowering well. I like the variegated ones, think I'll try them next year.

You can eat the leaves as well Jacque, in salads they taste peppery , the seeds are also capers to eat I believe , i,m not at all sure what they do with them , pickle them I suppose

Yes me &my Teenagers eat the leafs &think they taste like Radishs :) MMMMmmmmmmmmm

i love nasturtiums, i always collect the seeds, i have my sister doing the same now.
good blog jacque.

Thanx All im Glad u enjoyed it :)

Hi Jacque,
Well done and I'm sure Spritz will be pleased to hear your news as well.
Don't tell Peter, the site administrator----He will try to eat them!!!

LOL i wont dont worry :) lol

thanks for that - I've learnt something new!

Cool we learnt together then Sid :)

How come you were able to go seed hunting Jacque? Did you have your wellies on and your umbrella up? It's been tipping down here! I've just got back from a trip into N.Devon to my very favourite Garden Centre ( a treat from me to me for my birthday) and I got AB-SO-LUTE-LY soaked - in spite of their huge umbrellas they loan out! It was worth it, though. Bought some nice plants to fill the gaps and cheer the garden (and me) up with instant colour!

Well Spritz it was Sunny here 1st thing this morning until about 1ish then it started with heavy showers & we also had some thunder about 4! Sorry it rained 4 your Birtday treat :( But im glad u didnt let this Horrid weather spoil it4u :) A Happy Birthday & Many Many Happy Returns Spritz XXX

Thanks Jacque!

Happy birthday, Barbara.
Glad your birthday treat was fruitful, looking forward to seeing what found its way into your birthday bag :-)
Yesterday I got drenched when the heavens opened not long after I had ventured out to trim the hazel hedge, but today between showers I managed to give it a more normal look from the road side. When the sun shines properly I shall give it a decent trim and shred the pile of cuttings.
I haven't grown Nasturtiums for years, they are like a magnet for blackfly.

I usually just leave the Nast. seeds to fall on the ground and re-grow next year, but I think it would be a good idea to collect some . Then I can plant them where I want them instead of them coming up all over the place. Great blog Jacque :o)
