I'm experimenting on companion planting, hopefully to regulate pests organically and/or improve the flavors of vegetables. I sowed seeds of dwarf nasturtiums
around tomatoes and zucchinis in late April. It took a while for them to germinate, but once they did, they have been growing steadily....and now they are blooming beautifully. I haven't found them trapping aphids yet, but that's OK. It's easy for me to pick some clean and fresh leaves and flowers to eat raw. They taste peppery, similar to radish sprouts. I plan to garnish a salad with them soon. (Photo by bodhilens)
