I know most people talk about the peppery flavor I find it more similar to the flavor of horseradish. Especially in the stems of the flower. Love it. This plant has been a Godsend for me. As with some plants, the stems are sometimes to chewy and hard to break down. Not that way with nasturtium stems. They chew up so easily and therefore easily digested. There are so many uses for this plant. I used it for a lung and bronchial condition. I can't even begin to tell you how much it's healed me. I was at a very scary point and we all need to learn more about all the wonderful things God has given us on this Earth. It's truly wonderful.

I have just tried taking the seeds often throughout the day for hay fever and I have had a clear nose for majority of the day! It is like horse radish.

I mean this in the most sincerest innocent way......... Your voice is as welcoming as a beautiful garden on a beautiful spring day

I must complement you on the way you present the articles and give us the exact amt. of info not to confuse us. Please continue to do the good jobs you are doing .

I knew about the nasturtium being edible but was unaware of the high levels of lutein. Good information for those of us with aging eyesight! I love the smell too!

Oh yes, so true! I failed to mention the fragrance. I grew one variety last year which was sooo fragrant. It smelled just like roses. Most of mine did not have such a strong smell. Of course I did not label the particular variety, so I do not know whaich one it was!! haha - I'm trying again this year and hope the same one regrows (mixed pack of seeds).

This is the best video I’ve come across regarding nasturtiums. Thank you muchly!!!

Here is a suggestion. Place seed on a cotton ball, get it wet/damp. Place in baggie and wait for it to sprout as usual. Much easier to plant the seedling and cotton ball at the same time.

Others have said sprout them in coffee filters. They don't stick like paper towels do. Cotton ball is great idea too - had not seen that one.

The queen of the flowers ,can’t live without them…..we didn’t have much sun this summer, I got giant lives just now got hew flowers Will try to somehow mix them with the morning glory, the contrasting colour will look beautiful, so looking forward to for the spring I eat few lives ,they tasted great,like garlic….. Thanks for sharing 🌼💐

This video is so full of wonderful information, thank you. I also have macular degeneration and take a daily supplement. This is my first year growing nasturtium. I’m headed out to my garden now to pick a couple leaves to add to my salad today. Thank you so much! 👍🏻💕👍🏻

Just sowed my nasturtium a few days ago! Thanks for such a thorough and well composed video.

I love them! Thanks so much for the detailed information, and your meals look so good!!

I see that I'm late to the party, but so glad to have found your post! I have been trying to grow "Nasties" for more years than I will publicly admit. Hence, my aforementioned nickname for them. Thank You from the bottom of my frustrated heart for setting me on the path to correctly growing and enjoying these beautiful and delicious little gems!

I appreciate the scope, range of the information in your videos. The steady improvement of content and video quality over the years is apparent.

I just found you on utube and you are a wealth of knowledge and a super great teacher, thank you bunches!,

So glad I found this video. I have planted nasturtiums this year and was wondering what to expect and when to put in a larger growing space.

I was looking for more sources for vitamin a and now that I know the nasturtium can help out that's great!

Thank you for sharing. Loved your video.

Thankyou I really appreciate what you did here.

Thank you for such an in-depth tutorial on this plant!

REALLY enjoyed the in depth on these edible beauties. Thank you!

EXCELLENT VIDEO. Watch it to the end.

Thank you for the reply! I will try direct sowing these seeds. I was trying to get a jump start on some of my plants this year but seems certain plants just don't like that idea. Thanks again.

I always appreciate how well presented your videos are. It really shows that you take the time to organize and edit your content for the viewer. It’s a rare quality for vlogs but much appreciated. This is another great one. Thank you!

Excellent method to get the seeds to crack and to care for the plants! I didn't even think of it, but I have used a matchbook striker before on smaller seeds. I need them to sprout ASAP as trap plants for my indoor garden. I've had ppl mock this method and call it a "middle school science project" method, but when seeds are as valuable as they can be as well hard to come by, -my germination rate is over 99%. Thanks for showing the coco as well! Great video!

wow amazing little Plant & flower with many benefits Glory to God! i thought of using this plant as a bait for my garden against leaf miners stumble on your video and changed my mind and perspective Thank You & God Bless!!!

Absolutely wonderful video from someone who loves nasturtiums but is not really a gardener. Jean Kroeber from Germany

The quality of your videos continue to improve- thank you so much for all of the work that you put into them!! They are so comprehensive and you literally give all of the information that other videos leave me searching the internet for lol. I've started branching out to more and more flowers (both edible and not) for the garden, I don't know why but for some reason I never gravitated towards them, mostly fruits and vegetables. This year is the first year I have a lot of flowers and the yard is abundant with butterflies, bees, wasps and other pollinators. I've even started seeing "good" bugs helping me out by keeping the "bad" bugs at bay.

I have "Jewel Blend" Nasturtiums growing in with vegetables & other flowers in containers on my apartment's front porch! I can hardly wait until they bloom!!

Your nasturtium are so beautiful! Lovely accent too :) This video was so well done and informative. I'm in zone 7 and just started growing nasturtium this year and bought Burpee "jewel mix" seeds. I had read they do well in shade so I tried placing their containers in the shade. At first they did well but then I started getting a lot of yellowing leaves after a month or so but I planted them kinda late in the Spring so they were flowering through June/July. I wasn't sure if maybe they were getting too much sun or not enough water but after watching your video I think it was just too hot for them. They're such beautiful flowers though and I love them so I will grow more next year.

Mashua are so beautiful, I'd love to hear back on how they do. I have the dwarf orange blooms. Didn't know about the Elizabeth Linnaeus Effect, but I have noted how amazing they look in the garden (because of their bright color). I'm excited to collect the seeds and bring them back to my local seed lending library. There is a packet for sale called 'Night and Day' variety, which has cream colored and reddish-black mixed. I love to see contrast in the flower beds.
