    Default Nasturtium

    25 October 2010 Nasturtium. 25 October 2010 Nasturtium.

    This is the last of my flowers for the 2010 season. Nasturtiums thrive when the weather turns cool. The plant self seeds most years, and it at the base of a clematis plant. The raised structure is for drainage, since the ground was a swamp when I took over the property six years ago. It is not needed, since drainage tiles have been installed, but is probably too much effort to remove.

    I love nasturtiums, they are just such a "bring a smile to my face" plant. Do you eat yours?

    I use the flowers to pretty up a salad. Also when walking by in the garden I eat a few flowers. They have a most pleasant taste.
