Nasturtion
Feb 8th, 2008 by Chris
Last year I grew Nasturtions along the edges of the salad bed. I sowed them directly into the ground and was overwhelmed by how vigorously they eventually grew. I saved loads of seed at the end of the season. This year I want to be a bit more in control and so have sown a tray indoors. I shall probably sow some seeds over in the hedge on plot 18 as it is all brambles and hawthorne at present not to mention a fair bit of rubble and bricks so I hope that they will mask it a little.
Sow directly March-May, flowers June-September. Nasturtions flower abundantly in poor soil and transform hot, dry places into a blaze of colour. Flowers are edible, and ideal for use in salads.
