Late last fall three nasturtium seeds were planted in this big pot, tucked to the back of some starts of lettuce. Two of the three flowering seedlings were got eaten by bugs, but that was okay - it left more room for the lettuce! Then, the lettuce was all picked, and the one, still small nasturtium plant did little in the pot - barely growing and without a single flower. That was then...
Not long ago Margaret decided that it was time to turn that large pot, the one closest to the sliding door to the kitchen, into her herb garden pot. But, the nasturtium seemed to have other plans - suddenly blooming for all it's worth, and shooting off that long vine that's threatening to crawl clear across the patio. Can she bring herself to dig it out and start anew with culinary herbs. Well, maybe not quite yet. Now, in full glory, that plant certainly deserves a bit more time to flourish.
