I am growing them in hanging baskets along the top of the fence. I don't know what variety, I got them from MI Gardener. I believe its a mix because I have orange and red flowwes. I threw the package away. They are making seeds and I'm saving them for the fall. I didn't know they were a cool weather flower until I watched your videos about them. Your garden is beautiful with all those flowers! Thanks for all the information you share.

Nasturtiums are also loaded with lutein which is great for eye health. I grow them for my mom who has Alzheimer's and she loves to look at the beautiful yellow flowers all day. Always thumbs up for your videos Kim!

It's so nice that your mum enjoys those beautiful flowers. My grandma loved flowers, especially sunflowers!

Wild nasturtiums suddenly popped up in a patch of very poor soil on our neighbor's front yard that I have literally never seen get watered. They are thriving! The abundant red-orange flowers are just gorgeous! A patch of beauty in an otherwise completely neglected yard.

The way they grow in abundance and give such a light peppery taste is perfect for anyone who enjoys mixed greens. Nasturtium butter has also become a favorite of mine. Thank you so much for promoting this beautiful and wonderful plant. I'd love some recommendations for increasing the blooming of the flowers - here in Michigan I tend to get mainly the large leaves (not complaining!).

Beautiful!! Guess what... they grow here in Phoenix well into the 100°F weather. Mine went crazy with blooms as soon as we hit the 90s in May. I suppose they adapt to the climate they are in.

Oh my gosh. I am amazed with those nasturtiums. You have your own backyard super bloom😃 mine are on their way out and yours are taking the heat wonderfully! Beautiful!

I love nasturtiums! The jewel mix you have there gives an amazing color pop to your garden along the wall. I've tried eating them and they are surprisingly very good! Thanks for sharing Kim!

I’m growing these now!!! They are about 3.5 inches tall and have 3 leaves so far. They are adorable and I love watching them change so fast.

I started some indoors! Waiting to get them in the garden soon! I will also be direct sowing them this week. Excited to see the beautiful flowers!

I’m growing a few types of nasturtiums! I saw them in a few of your past videos and had to get some for myself ☺️ can’t wait to see them bloom

My 8 year old is so excited about planting these. She loves to snack in the garden and these will be great.

So beautiful and practical (edible!). They fill the garden in such a lovely way. I'm going to try to grow them. Thank you for a lovely video :)

Going to try growing Nasturtiums for the first time this. I am really adding flowers to attract pollinators this season and heard many good things about Nasturtiums. Thanks for the added information.

Soo cool, refreshing and tasty flowers

Grew nasturtiums for the first time this year, completely blown away by how great they turned out, ready to try the other varieties.

You posted this video just in time! I bought a nasturtium because of your previous video.

Wow! Very beautiful flowers😍🏵️🏵️🌹🌷💛❤️

They are gorgeous. They grow wild in the coastal groves around here.

beautiful indeed.

Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you for the video! I planted way too late, so once again, next year!

I'm growing yours for a second year in a row, I've been soaking them in water before planting to soften the seed casing. They do well on my deck in the heat of the summer because they get partial sun.

Yes I have a beautiful bed filled with them

I LOVE watching your videos....and I also got my own garden❤️💚

Hi Kim, I grow Nasturtiums, Borage, Zinnias, Marigolds & Wild Flower Mix in my vegetable garden in Northeastern MA. They were so pretty last year and I had high vegetable yields, so thank you for the "bring on the pollinators" advice. Also last year I just put them out there and this year I tried to pay more attention to the placement of them for more of an attractive effect, fingers crossed they will turn out like I am hoping for. Gardening is just starting in my area and my cool weather vegetables are transplanted or sewn but I'm still holding onto the rest of transplants for another couple of weeks before it's warm enough to harden off and transplant. I also tried my own composting this year and was very excited not to have to buy it and it came out so good. Love this time of year and dirty fingernails:) Thank you so much for all your great gardening advice/videos over the last couple of years. I also follow Rustic Garden & Roots and Refuge, good luck on the tomato challenge!!!

I love your Nasturtiums! And I love you guys! Thanks for sharing your lovely garden! First time growing Petunias, Helichrysum, Cosmos, Sweet Williams, third time Sunflowers, Marigold, all in containers. I'll try Nasturtiums next year. They are so beautiful!

Wonderful information, very useful.

I direct-seeded Nasturtiums in my raised beds (3' high) and in the ground with the cucumbers, last year. None of the ones in the raised beds came up. Five or six struggled in the ground and didn't get much bigger than a small potted plant. They looked ill. Not at all happy (likely due to the heat). This year, one Nasturtiums seed from last year sprouted in the raised bed; it has cascaded over the side of the bed and is creeping along the ground now. The sickly ones in the ground came back (after appearing to have died off???), and they look much happier now...trellis-worthy. In my flower-ignorance, I'd never planted them before and expected they'd likely not get any larger than say a one-gallon pot -- contained, like you see in the nurseries. Imagine my surprise! Note to self: raised beds may not be the best place for Nasturtiums, especially if you intend to use the bed for veggies because they take over the space. Question: Are Nasturtiums supposed to come back every year? How are they to be maintained between seasons - cut back, leave them alone, water, don't water, etc.? Thank you.

@CaliKim29

They'll die in over 80 degrees - you pull them out, or just leave them. They drop seeds and they come back!

last year I planted mine too late in the season, and it got destroyed by aphids... this year I started them early may (and surrounded them by marigolds so hopefully that scares away the aphids) and they're already growing like crazy!! I love this flower, great video

I take coffee walks every morning too!

In tucson, az, I plant nasturtium in October, or November. When the weather drops below 90. It grows all winter!

Rebuilding the cutting garden and figuring where to place my nasturtiums. Hoping spring is slow so I can actually enjoy them. I have a few plants from the greenhouse so I am fingers crossed that also gives me more time

Even my mom loves plants

I live in N. Alabama and keep Nasturtium all summer. I keep them in a micro climate like next to the house and under our awning. They don't get huge here like they did when we lived in Wi, but little bushes about 10 in tall and still quite pretty. Poor soil promotes flowering in these beautiful plants, and rich soil or fertilizer makes them mostly leaves. Just a few morning hours of sun in the south works the best. Also let them get a little dry between waterings.It is a wonderful plant for beginners or people who tend to forget to water...

Oh wow. I'm going to be planting nasturtiums very soon(the red ones-can't think of the name) and you just taught me a few things that I didn't know. First thing is that they don't like the hot temperatures.That's sad because I live in NC and the summers can be very hot so it sounds like my flowers won't last too long!!😕 I also didn't realize that they were good at cascading so that's pretty cool!! Thanks for the heads up. I'm actually putting in my flower bed tomorrow so I'm so excited !! I'm starting some seeds too(running a bit behind on that this year because we've been cutting down small trees and clearing out some of our property.) It's all good though and as usual looking forward to a spring and summer full of flowers and some vegetables too.

Hi I will sow nasturtium tomorrow around my fencing ..thanks for video. I will keep seeds and eat flowers and leaves😊

I’ve never grown Nasturtiums in Montana. We do get 90 to 100 in late July so my cool growing season might not be long enough. I found seeds at a local hardware store so Im feeling hopeful they will grow. Thanks for the encouragement, I have nothing to loose by trying, only a $1.89 seed package. Well let me confess I bought two seed packages. So $3.79.

I remember planting an Alaskan variety. The leaves had these white markings/stripes.

Have been thinking of setting in a few seeds already Kim. However, with this being May Day, and non-paved surfaces coated again with 3 inches of fresh new snow, probably good that I am foot dragging still this season. Mid-20s for low temps tonight. Perhaps still a little early to venture out with garden plans. A real short growing season seems to be shaping up. -Bob...

I'm growing Nasturtiums right now, but I know it's gonna pretty hard for them right now because its summer and i live in South Florida. They are kind of dying but they've come such a long way so I'm gonna let them grow. I'm really looking forward to tasting the flower. Also, love your videos very helpful!

Cool 😎

Without a doubt they are stunning. What a lovely sight behind you with all the nasturtiums, butternut squash and all the colors from orange-red to white, blue and green and others in between. Even your mug is colorful. That was the second thing I noticed, you mug. It will be 90 degrees here in central SC so I think mine will not bloom, but we will try this fall.

I love nasturtiums! I grow them every year. Last year I saved the seeds and grew some instead of buying seeds. I planted some indoors but only one came up. I found I have to soak them for a few hours because the seed is hard then lots grew from the seeds. The leaves taste like watercress and are in the same family.

Lovely. I have a spot that needs some color. I'm planting coral peonies. Maybe nasturtium and California poppy would pop behind it.

Going to try some after watching your video 🌸🌷🌼
