Thank you for this! We have a load of nasturtiums in our garden, now I know what I can do with them

Love those crowns (and the link to the flower house). I was just thinking this morning that spring is about flowers and how I’d love to set my 2 year old up with some tiny vases and scissors so she can arrange flowers for our nature table as she pleases. Yet we have so very few spring flowering plants our garden. One of the few we have are nasturtiums that self seedevery spring from our garden’s previous life. So I think if they survive this weekends ’summer sun’ we’ll be princesses on Monday.
No stories come to mind but you can eat nasturtiums – both the leaves and flowers. The flavour isn’t particularly tasty (a little peppery) but it does make for a pretty salad.
