Mother used to eat Nasturtium leaves with egg in a sandwich so they remind me of her too. I would be looking for the little black bugs, we have a plague of them at the moment , but in the house they fly to the windows at night where my spiders get them in their webs, one of the reasons not to be too efficient at cleaning ! Love to you !Margaret Mary Rowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468989976417886843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28687827.post-21463005777726900472018-07-18T23:37:58.630+01:002018-07-18T23:37:58.630+01:00Fascinating journey through your personal plant hi...Fascinating journey through your personal plant history Margaret. My father had a lovely Plumbago under the window of the bungalow in Norfolk. It started life in a pot in the conservatory and when it grew like Jack's beanstalk was nervously planted outside.<br />None of us thought it would survive but it did, and flourished for a few years.<br />It is such a lovely colour and blue plants are rare in the UK, so I've always loved it.<br />I too love nasturtians not least because they're so easy to grow and provide such a lot of colour with so little effort on our part.<br />I know they are thugs really and would probably take over the world given half a chance, but they are so cheerful and these days , relatively rare it is good to know you are keeping a few.<br />Lovely pictures as always thanks.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
