I love it when nasturtiums grow up & around things...
Comments on this photo
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!
