Caterpillars on my nasturtiums.

Oooo i see them Peter :O i wonder if thats whats on my Creeping Jennys by the pond their full of tiny holes2 ? :)

For a gardener, Peter,
you have VERY clean fingernails. LOL

ha ha - I like Marguerite's idea! **imagines Peter lying on his back with his head in a clump of nasturtians**

such a shame,cant believe that something that small can cause so much damage.
ive found a few on my passion flower,managed to get em on my trowel and send them on their first flyin lesson----lol

Yup, they eat a lot! I did spend some time looking under the leaves - not on my back though :o) I found lots of caterpillars and quite a few patches of little yellow eggs too.

I think nasturtians are sometimes used as decoys in organic veg growing - they're meant to attract the butterflys away from the veggies....can't say it worked in my garden - my nasturtians have got catapillars, and so have my sprouts!!!
