Nasturtium ‘Moonlight’ is a pale yellow that seeds to a myriad of sunset colours.
Tumbling over peasticks, trailing nasturtiums make a cheap and cheerful summer hedge.

Lovely to hear from you, Yvonne, and how interesting that you’ve tried the seeds – I shall stick to using the flowers in salads.

It is amazing that they all came from one packet, albeit sown several years ago.

Beautiful and delicious! I’d not thought of growing them up canes as a divide. I like the pink blush coloured one. I’ve stuck to Princess of India for the last couple of years, but this year I am nasturtiumless … and now I am missing them.

Oh, I hope you get a show of them before the summer’s out. I think they’re usually pretty reliable if sown in spring ….

I love them Kate and am amazed that these are self sown . Mine are heading up the garage wall but came out of a couple of packets earlier this year.

That sounds like a good way to brighten up a garage wall🙂. Reading the comments from Karen and Lavinia re germination failure I’m wondering if I’ve just been lucky so far, perhaps I should put seed by in case we have a long cold, wet spring next year. Still, a packet of seeds is as cheap as chips!

I think once you have them in the garden they appear every year. A new packet if all else fails is my plan.

Well, that’s been my experience too. Jolly good value for a packet of seeds🙂

I love nasturtiums, Kate! Ours usually self-seed and come back, but I have not seen a one this year, yet. The spring was long and cool, and very wet, which may have rotted seed.
I think I have caught up with you again now. This summer is going by at a fast clip!

I guess the large papery husked seeds may well rot in wet weather. Maybe I should save some seed and keep it for sowing once the ground warms up.
Lovely to hear from you, Lavinia!

The summer is galloping by here, and my best intentions of keeping up with everyone, including myself, are falling short. :-)

Oh, Lavinia, I so understand, I’m way behind here too!
Let’s hope we can all find time to smell the roses🙂

Theses were one of the first seeds I planted as a boy in my own little plot. I have loved them ever since. You had a beautiful display on your open day Kate, how do you get them flowering so early, my self sowers have only just started growing!

Thanks Brian. With no help from me they appear every year and are in full flower just in time to mug the peas (hence the underlying structure). It’s a south facing raised bed, maybe the soil warms up quickly in spring?
Isn’t it lovely that so many people have fond memories of plants from their childhood?
