.........when I was young I lived with my Nan and Grandad......my Grandad was head gardener at an old manor house and I was always fascinated by what he was growing in his garden, greenhouse and potting shed at home.......I was worried when he appeared to be pulling up all the lovely nasterchium plants which had bloomed all over the rockery and garden.......he said that they were 'thugs' who would take over the entire garden if you let them......well.....I was not convinced, but he said wait and see...........and of course next Spring there they were popping up everywhere again........I always remember my Nan and Grandad when I see these bright little flowers and I always let them grow !
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Oh dear..........mine just grow themselves and scatter seeds all around too.......I have contained my Mint is a bucket as he is an even bigger 'thug'.........
Nasturtiums were a very loved & plentiful flower in my youth. Complete with caterpillars on the back of the leaves too. They have a very distinctive smell as far as I remember. You don’t see them so much these days,
Hoping your garden and you stay safe in weekend storm
