I plant many things in hanging baskets but never thought of Nasturtiums. I have problems with my knees so do not plant much in the ground anymore but will surely do Nasturtiums in a hanging basket next year. in Northern Illinois Quote
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I'm a flower eater. Rose petal sandwiches, lavender scones and biscotti and so on. Put the flowers in your salad. That's what I do if I can find them.

They are really good. thanks, laura Quote
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Laura, I don't have " expertise " but I will share with you my Nasturtium planting. Nasturtiums are so easy to grow from seed . I'm surprised that more people do not grow them to eat and decorate food plates. This year I planted a hanging basket and I think every one of those little seeds sprouted. I don't have flowers yet but can't wait to pretty up my salad with them. I buy the seed packets that are marked *edible flowers* and have noticed that some packets do not state this. My hanging basket is one with the coconut fibre and it is hanging in a somewhat protected area against the wall. The potting medium is one part organic and 3 parts organic potting soil. It does not get direct sun because our Colorado climate is very hot. I'm going to post a before and after photo on my recycled gardens group and you are all welcome to visit and become members.
