Re: nasturtiums

My nasturtiums are starting to bloom now and will continue to bloom until
mid November. They bloom very well all during our 90 degree summers, and
until first frost. Mine are self seeding and, depending upon winter
temperatures, bloom in 7-8 weeks. They thrive in poor soil, and in rich
soil you may get more foliage than blooms. They are perhaps the easiest
of all flowers to grow. I love them and am glad to see that others are
growing them. Early in the season the blooms are hidden under the foliage
but will rise to the top in hot weather.
