Sam, if you were asking for nasturtiums now, (late October), they
might have been looking at you strangely because no store in North
America would be selling nasturtium plants at this time of year. They
are summer annuals - best planted by seed, but occasionally sold as
seedlings in flats, available in late April - May.
I would recommend looking for seeds anyway - the plants are easy
to
grow from the big seeds, and of course it's MUCH cheaper than buying
flats. "Sam" wrote in message

While I was down at HomeDepot, I asked several pelple from the garden
department for "nasturtium." They looked at me as if I was from
Mars! One of them actually pointed me to the vegetable section!!! I
was wondering if it goes by some "common" name that the HD people
would recognize!

PS if anyone has a pic (or link with pic) handy, it would go a long
way! Because then, I can just show them the pick and say: this is
what I'm looking for! ;-)

Thanks!
Sam

They do sell the seeds at Home Depot and Lowes in early winter/spring in
my area. It wouldn't surprise me if nasturtiums weren't available in
your area now, but then my HD doesn't even have a vegetable section this
time of year. Did you actually look in the veggy section? Sometimes
they put things wherever there's space. If you pronounced it NAS-TI-
TURDI-YUM! I would have also looked at you funny but would have pointed
you to the manure section.

At the minimum you should be able to find them the Ferry Morse white seed
packets (when in season).
