I planted them around the potatoes and rows of corn to discourage pests but they're beautiful too. I didn't expect them to look so cheerful and pretty. I've been too lazy to try eat them in a salad, and H and I are not big salad eaters anyway. But I admire them, from afar, sitting out on the deck or looking out the window (and speaking of windows, while I'm a summer girl at heart I also appreciate the soothing coolness of being indoors in a darkened house, drapes drawn, as the noon sun blazes outside), and up close, as you can see in this shot, which I took crouching very, very close to the nasturtiums.
Gardeners love nasturtiums. They're low-maintenance, easy to grow, edible with a sweet, peppery taste, and lovely to look at.
