Nasturtiums are quick and easy to grow. Sow the seeds in modular trays or directly into their final place in the garden. The seeds will germinate after 7 to 14 days and grow quickly from there. They need very little care. Keep soil moist, but do not feed them.
Sow: March to August
Plant out: April to September
Harvesting time: May to November

The young leaves, stems, and flowers have a mustard-radish-like flavour, bringing a peppery bite to salads. They can also be tossed into stir-fries, risotto, and soup and added to a pesto. They're delicious with pasta, too! The seed heads can be pickled and used like capers.
The fragrant petals can be used like saffron to colour rice and potatoes. They also make a beautiful garnish for salads and desserts. Some people use the petals to make tea with honey and a slice of lemon, which is good for the immune system, helps to relax and offers digestive support.
