Literally.
A riot of Nasturtiums. I took some seeds from a neighbor's outcrop of Nasturtiums a while back. He didnt mind as he hates them and they grow like weeds. But a pretty weed and vine creation is just what I needed. I threw these seeds out into the field and with a couple good rains - voila! They pop up everywhere!
Unless you absolutely cant stand weeding, don't plant them near your garden. But I find these flowers easy to identify by their leaves and to pull out when they stray. The bees adore them and while I cant prove it, they probably keep some bad bugs away.
Unless I can keep them watered, they will die back soon, but the aroma is absolutely intoxicating during the day and evening. I planted some in pots in the back yard for color.
