Nasturtium

This one looks as though it's giving everything it's got. Great, eyecatching colour.

They say nasturtiums thrive best in poor soil but I've found the opposite to be true...these have their feet in soil with compost added & the ones in soil that I haven't changed or fertilised all year are wimpy little specimens & all from the same seed grown on my bedroom window sill.

Lovely Pix Fluff they certainly add vibrant colour to gardens

Every year I resolve to grow much more of the plants that I love & that do well...including these guys...but I grew them from seed instead of buying plants & they just didn't thrive except for this plant.
Things like snapdragons, million bells, lupins, sweet peas, cosmos, hollyhocks etc etc I've thought I'd got lots to look forward to & in the early summer when we had sun/rain, sun/rain for weeks everything looked so promising but in the aftermath of rain/wind, rain/wind all I'm left with is a washed out colour palette.
Sorry...rant over!

These do like to ramble and roam and wander....
