My new favorite plant!

Thank you for this video, I'm hoping to grow nasturtiums this year in my garden. I just sowed the seeds few days ago, hopefully they germinate soon.

I really like seeing the whole journey of the nasturtium in your garden. I’d be keen to see other videos like this on other plants 😊

Your nasturiums are very pretty - one note - they don't really need fertilizing - that's why you have so much leaf and not as much flower... if you don't fertilize any more you will probably get more flowers - nasturium do prefer a poorer soil than many plants.

I have nasturtium in my yard too and wanted to mention they don't benefit from fertilizing unless you want to encourage a leafier plant. My mom had nasturtium in our backyard when I was little. She used to call them weeds because they grew so well with very little help. She'd even pull out large areas of the climbing type off the back fence - within a couple of months more blooms & very happy plant. Thanks for your channel.

You don't have to wait for the seeds to grow more. You could cut the vines, remove several of the lower leaves, direct plant in soil, and they will be very quick to flower. If you want more flowers, do not fertilize at all. They literally thrive in poor soil.

Yes you do have the trailing nasturtium 5 ft in length they are amazing -planted with certain vegetables to help deter bugs something that I will be planting quite prolifically this year …diversity is key in the gardens…do you eat the buds or pickle them? Used as capers in many dishes they have a peppery flavor and when used in salads the flowers really add quite a sparkle of elegance and surprise…Supposedly a natural antibiotic for us as well …I still remember these 50 years ago in my aunts garden…obviously they knew things about these amazing plants we have long since forgotten…beautiful garden…thank you for sharing

In fact I direct sowed other annuals below my potted figs as soon as I brought them out in the spring and they’re growing really well. That way I didn’t have to mess with digging into the figs root system, the annuals find their own way when planted from seed. Gazania and nemophila both worked really well this way 😀

I am not sure, unfortunately AND fortunately, nasturtiums are trap plants, so the pests go for them first instead of your other plants, thats one of the main reasons people choose them.

Can you direct sow them?

@SoilandMargaritas

2 жыл бұрын

Yes!

🌱The Nartusiums you are showing at 4:25 indicate that the soil is too rich. Nasturtiums need to be grown in a position in full sun. They grow best in reasonably poor, well-drained soil. If the soil is too rich, too much foliage will be produced at the expense of flowers and may grow above the flowers, hiding them from view.🌱

Poorer soil and no fertilizer means they will flower better. Good soil and fertilizer will produce more leaves.
