I don't even remember what year it was that I planted these in the garden. Maybe 5 years ago?
But just ok. The heat wave has taken a toll on them. Still, I'm hopeful that they will produce seeds that I can gather for planting in some new places next spring.
They add nice spots of intense color to the back yard.
Also very nice on salads. Edible flowers, edible leaves [slightly peppery], edible seeds [very peppery]. Seeds can also be used to make a "tartare" sauce or mayo.
ReplyDeleteYour photo is so pretty. Nasturtiums grow fast, so they are a good seed to pop into your garden around early bulbs once they start to die back. They'll grow up and hide the dying leaves, and in a short while you'll have pretty round green leaves and bright flowers to look at, instead of limp tresses.
ReplyDeletefor a moment, I thought you were going to speak of the actress capucine. then I saw the gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteyou take some interesting closeup pix!
The "fake" well, huh. You know, in the United States that would be elegantly called the "faux" well.
