Whoever said nasties don't like being transplanted. I grew them huge in 2-inch pots and transplanted them, heavily root bound, into the garden, they immediately took off, did not even skip a beat! Love nasties!

[@annamichalak3016]

Same! But I think they need to grow separately in a seedling trays, someone I spoke to said it’s fine to repot as long as you don’t damage roots

[@GreenLove1]

@@annamichalak3016 oh, I definitely damaged roots, my plants were quite big and a bit root bound when I transplanted. they have fibrous roots so that makes them actually easy to transplant. My garden is full of beautiful plants loaded with gorgeous flowers right now - every one of them transplanted!

[@lokokoro]

“Nasties” 😂💕

[@GreenLove1]

@@lokokoro wait! I thought everyone called them that. Ok, maybe just a California thing 😂

Nasturtiums are one of my favorites! Before I had a garden I was out with my roommates, staying at my aunt's cabin, and she had a huge mound of nasturtiums, so I picked off a couple of flowers and popped them in my mouth, and my roommates were HORRIFIED lol. I don't think it even occurred to them that flowers could be edible. Later I grew a lot of them in our front yard, and we added them to salads all the time. I love that they just bloom forever!! I bought a bunch of different seed varieties this year because I bought a house, and now I get to do whatever I want with my garden! It's going to be covered in nasturtium, hollyhock, and gladiolus. My crocuses are blooming (I wasn't sure if they would because I planted them in December) and it's got me so pumped for spring!!

[@sandreawhite7534]

I make and design charcuterie boards. I think the nasturtiums would look so beautiful to garnish your charcuterie board with, and you can eat them.

[@bryum8898]

I love these individual species videos. I saw some nasturtium seedlings at the nursery yesterday. I'm going back today to buy them!

[@dandeleona4760]

THANK YOU for naming your zone 9B. We northerners keep getting tips from across the country and nobody ever says what zone their tips are coming from. It's important because if 5A takes 9B advice on timing, we're screwed. So thanks for prefacing your zone for us :D

[@galamander_1327]

I love the taste and exuberance of nasturtiums. They grow best for me in 90% clay, unamended. The poorer the soil the more blossoms. I struggled for years when I'd plant them in richly amended soil. They made nice foliage with barely 5 blooms per plant. I guess they really are a "weed" a k.a. a restorative or pioneer species.

[@SkinnyPigDesigns]

Thank you for sharing this! I have Clay soil and can barely grow anything in it. I'm going to try nasturtiums 😊

[@Thaidoeng]

Thank you for a straight forward video! No sell, no 💩 Just the facts and tips!

[@Kat-mf7mt]

I started mine in the fall and all i had was leaves, not that I mind since I love the variation! Now since the sun has been out more, the flowers are finally blooming.

[@sandreawhite7534]

They say they do not need fertilizer so if you fertilize them, you might get more leaves than blooms…… that’s what I’ve been told.

[@Gogrannygo55]

I love nasturtiums. I have a planter full of them and plant them on the edges of my raised gardens. I will hire my 5 year old grandsons to search for the seeds. Thanks Angela. From your neighbor in chandler. 🤗😊❤️

[@tolynette]

You made me excited to plant some this year! ❤

[@smorgasbroad1132]

I found out on an Australian landscaping show-that Nasturtium are considered an invasive weed there. I would love to have such a weed in my yard. I can grow them but they're never huge and lush here in Illinois. I'll take what I can get. One of my favorite plants.👍🏻

[@analyticalhabitrails9857]

Same here! Same here!

[@mygrannysgarden]

I love nasturtiums too. I have them in my garden. There were some that volunteered to come back. Some I planted this year. Thank you for sharing.

[@tonysullivan9552]

Straight to the point, very factual and helpful, well done video, thank you!

[@ryan160]

they are so incredibly beautiful i hope to grow some this year ❤

[@jinabrasser9439]

Me too! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I just bought some seeds today!! 🥹😁

[@ebradley2306]

Love nasturtiums. Have them tucked into a couple spots in the garden. They recently started to bloom. Enjoy putting the leaves and flowers into a salad. If I collect enough seeds will try to pickle them.

[@winstonairedale]

I'm in California mine grow all year round 😊

[@Art-jl6pt]

This is my first rodeo with the nasty, so I need all the help I can get. Thank you for your channel. Happy Easter.

[@dianaanderson6448]

Nasturtium pesto is great over fish, for a peppery kick.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I'll have to try that, thanks!

[@WisGuy4]

Is nasturtium pesto made from the leaves, flowers, or seeds? Give us your favorite recipe, please!

[@jenniferbrannon]

I would love this recipe too! I have a ton of nasturtium leaves begging to be used!

[@dianaanderson6448]

I use the same recipe as basil pesto, just swap out the leaves. Last time I used sunflower seeds, and it was still great!

[@jenniferbrannon]

@@dianaanderson6448 Sweet, I need to try that!! My nasturtium is climbing all over the place and I keep wanting to try a recipe with the leaves!

[@mo_bra3340]

Great idea to hire the kiddos! I might start doing that. haha

[@alanwann9318]

Once grew a dozen from seed years ago they have self sown all colours and they can climb a trellis

[@the4cornersgarden]

They are yummy as well I grow them to eat in salads

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I’m in zone 6b in PA. I tried nasturtiums last year and they grew about 6” and fizzled out. I’ll have to try again!

[@itzflowers4me]

I'm also in 6b PA and mine did great, so definitely try again.

[@kostiaonisuk6894]

Вы молодец! Я тоже люблю настурцию и тоже люблю сажать в полости бетонных блоков. В корнях настурции имеются бактерии, которые разлагая силикатные минералы своими выделениями высвобождают, фосфор и другие элементы

[@audra212]

I grow in zone 9b also. I want to try nasturtiums.

[@Nurtureddreams815]

Nasturtiums always have me thinking I’m looking at water lily pads. I have so many that grows in my yard just about everywhere. Oh, my gosh!

[@sandreawhite7534]

Excellent informational video. I’m just getting ready to put out some nasturtiums. Do I need to soak the seeds first ….. obviously not if they come back up on their own.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I don't soak them.

[@karenschwartz5209]

😊

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

how do you keep cabbage white away deom the nasturtium. I have heard that they are a catch crop? this is the 1st year ill be growing nasurtiums. 😊

[@pamelapruett7833]

I have some I was going to plant are they only fall And winter Flowering plants ?

[@jenniferbrannon]

How would you save seeds from them? I’m guessing there’s a drying period?

[@vandthebees9249]

What is a good trailing plant that will hold up in the summer months? I have raised garden beds that are metal and looking for a way to keep them cool in the dead of summer.

[@2L82Sk8Bye]

Not 💯 sure but… maybe sweet potato vine.

[@tinaaguilar9127]

I only planted them initially in a pot and now I have them in several places in my back yard and look so pretty. I’d like to start some of the seed pods for my front yard. Do I need to let the pods dry or can they be planted green?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I'd let them dry first - but you could always give it a try. You probably have plenty of seeds

[@mariaelenacarretas1085]

😢6 Thank you gor sharing your video. Ihave also anusturtium plant . I planted it 1 month ago. When the seeds grow it has a very thin stems. How often do i have to eater them. Thank you. I'm Ellen. I live in St. John, New Brunswick.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Might need more sunlight. Water when the soil is dry.

[@onehitterquitter2130]

I just planted these in two 10 inch hanging pots. I hope this works.

[@veelash3505]

One penny per seed! Great idea 💡😂

[@kristymarsh960]

I can never get mine to grow

[@LeeSzkotnicki]

Does anyone have any thoughts on my my nasturtiums taste like plastic or chemicals?

[@tinanieves9881]

Do seeds have to be dry when you gather them or will they dry later and still germinate?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

They will dry, store in a paper sack so they don't mold

[@SH-jy6lc]

Will nasturtiums reseed themselves in cold climates like zone 3?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Possibly - they certainly drop a lot of seeds!

[@karenmonroe2058]

Will they thrive in the spring and summer? Or just winter?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Depends on where you live. It's too hot in the summer for them where I live.

[@karenmonroe2058]

@@GrowingInTheGarden south central Texas so I’m guessing the answer is wait until the Fall

[@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass]

Are you selling any of your own seeds?

[@igme5760]

Are they invasive?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

They could be. Probably depends on where you live. They will definitely come back each year from dropped seeds.
