Oh my... That is a truly lovely garden. I absolutely love nasturtiums, too.
Do you grow many edibles? I'm starting out with tomatoes and peppers this year, along with my usual herbs. My goal is to eventually take on more space and add string beans and other small-ish crops. Something about it is so satisfying: reaching out your back door for lunch, or a part of it, at least.
well, right now we are eating huge abundances of salads. Peas need to be harvested every day (probably another two weeks of that). Then I'll put in green beans. We have all sorts of herbs all year long. Also, my onions will be ready in a week or so as will cabbages, broccoli, kales, cauliflower. I have eight varieties of tomatoes going. Tomatillos too, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries (weeds), as well as 8 fruit trees. Garlic comes out this week as well. potatoes too. lots and lots of flowers. as it gets hotter, I'll plant the squash and melons and continue on with more beans. maybe corn. definitely cucumbers. I have the space for lots, so the list is endless really. I don't usually plant anything that is high maintenance though. I'm from the school of tough love gardening. If it can be neglected and ignored, not watered or weeded...then it can stay. otherwise I don't bother.
I was there two weeks ago with my class, studying about the care and conservation of living collections (that's museum speak for zoo), but I promised my big girl a trip. That baby was too cute.
