Nasturtiums: A great addition to summer salads!


Here’s an easy to grow plant that can be started anytime in the spring or summer. It produces beautiful flowers that will add a splash of brilliant color to any garden. The really good news, however is that both the leaves and flowers are edible.

For years now, I’ve grown this plant as a colorful addition to my summer salads. I use the leaves also which add a light peppery taste to the salad mix. The seeds are readily available at most seed stores.

I love planting nasturtiums in the garden they do add some bright color to the garden. I'll have to try them with a lunch salad today.
Thanks
