Every year the first frost kills off my nasturtiums. I have a few
that just sprouted from seed a few weeks ago, and thought I'd like to
grow them through the winter, get a head start for next spring. Do
they make good houseplants? Or should I just let the frost take them?

In my experience, they do not make good house plants. They get leggy, chlorotic,
and have no vigor. You can try in a very sunny window.

yes.

But not sure about the head start part. Most people have trouble
keeping them under control.
