Perhaps you recall that this spring I decided to plant nasturtiums in hanging baskets and focal pots around my home in place of non-edible annuals. I bought a packet of seeds and started some of them directly in the pots and others in cells. Although the germination rate seemed low to me, enough of them sprouted and have now filled 5 hangings baskets and 2 large pots.
The blossoms are just now forming, ready for use in salads. The flavor is very mild, and they look so pretty mixed in with the greens. The whole blossoms would make a beautiful garnish on a plate, or as I did for the lunch salads today, I tore the petals into colorful pieces of confetti on a field of green leaves. I'll try the leaves in a salad later this week.
