They are easy to pull out when they come up next year. Any way, what's wrong with nasturtians!

Yes! Or wait for the seedlings to appear next year and heave them out whenever you do see them...

Thank you! There's nothing wrong with them but they grow all over everything else and starve the other plants of light! I've only got a small space so I need to keep things a bit contained. Thanks for advice!

Next time, choose Nasturtium Alaska Mixed or Empress of India - much smaller, not climbers.

Or do as I do and grow them in a hanging basket.

Brilliant - thanks for the tips!

I think you'd find that nasturtiums in a hanging basket will still shed seed everywhere - from on high!

Not if you eat them Beattie, Mock capers. I use the entire plant as a salad crop. Plus in a basket you can see them and pick them off before they fall.

Ugh, I don't like nasturtiums to eat, too bitter - I bet you like rocket as well, Pimpernel, another salad leaf I can't stand...

I do bamboo, mixed with plenty of other leaves of course. Nasturtiums and Rocket are not as bitter as some of the Endives...They're the ones I am careful with.

Folks round here love the taste of very bitter salads, which I can't bear. I much prefer the peppery taste of rocket and nasturtium, but you MUST only pick the leaves while they are young and fresh and small, or they, too will be 'orrible! Nasturtium flowers are edible, too - again while young - and make a green salad look very pretty.
