Yup, they eat a lot! I did spend some time looking under the leaves - not on my back though :o) I found lots of caterpillars and quite a few patches of little yellow eggs too.

I think nasturtians are sometimes used as decoys in organic veg growing - they're meant to attract the butterflys away from the veggies....can't say it worked in my garden - my nasturtians have got catapillars, and so have my sprouts!!!
