One experience I had: I had 2 packets of nasturtium seeds
that were several years old. Decided to plant them, if they
came up, good, if not, oh well. Planted them very late, the
end of June. They were a climbing variety that goes to 6' tall.
To my astonishment they were up in 4 days & climbed as much as
they could & bloomed their hearts out, with huge leaves & flowers
a good 6" across. They went on until a really hard frost in Nov,
gorgeous colors & leaves & huge sized. I had a 22 foot long wall
over half-covered with them. What a gorgeous display it was.


Wow. I wish you hadn't said this... now I simply must have
nasturtiums this year! g

Edible - the flowers are edible, and make a very pretty
garnish for salads.

I didn't buy nasturtium seeds, but the local Agway will
probably have them.
