February 23 2012 red nasturtium bloom close

A nice red-flowered nasturtium blooming in the garden. They are so easy here winter, spring, and early summer so I let them pop up anywhere they want in the garden (almost!).

Thanks for looking/commenting, Leah!  I DO toss some of the blooms into the occasional salad, they're a very nice addition, aren't they?  I bet the loved the CT weather for sure.  They're really good performers here winter, spring, and early summer, and then they perish in the heat, but they always drop plenty of seeds that wait out our long hot summer to re-sprout in autumn.  What's not to love about such a giving, durable plant, right??  Are you growing any these days???  Thanks again, happy gardening! :)
