Nasturtium

A Nasturtium is covered with droplets after the rain. Nasturtiums grow like weeds and have nectar that local birds and insects love. The flowers are edible and are especially good in a green salad.

Didn't know they are edible, I've got two of them in our garden. Posted 10 years ago

  They have kind of a peppery taste like arugula. So your personal taste would dictate how much or how little to add to a salad. When we were kids we used to nip off the little stem at the back of the flower to get at a droplet of nectar in there. Just be mindful if there are any pesticides in use nearby. Posted 10 years ago

    Thank you. Not going to eat them though. We also have a small apple tree, but always just leave all stuff for the insects :) Posted 10 years ago
