Nasturtiums

Last year my nasturtiums had a hard time coming up.  It was too cold in the basement, it was such a long and cold winter.  This year is completely different - the nasturtiums are growing great!

I love the spicy leaves and the touch of sweet in the spicy flowers.  And the flowers are so beautiful on top of every kind of dish - they make it.  I even freeze the leaves in the fall, and use them all winter long (no blanching necessary).  In fact, dinner tonight is quesadillas with home-made green tomato salsa and nasturtium leaves.  Nice.
