Nasturtium growing in the garden

Nasturtium leafs and flowers are both edible, and the plant is reported to have a peppery flavor (I have not tried it yet). The leaves are full of vitamins, and eating them helps improve digestion and kidney issues.

Nasturtium does not like to be overwatered, ir fertilized, so next year I may try these in pots set around the garden perimeter, for better results. The blossoms are very pretty, I have only had a few blooms so far. The pungent odor of the plant is said to repel many insects that would like to eat my produce, especially aphids, so I planted seed in random spots throughout the garden. I have one in the lettuce, yet my lettuce has become a home to some sort of insect.
