Nasturtiums...The progression of The Spitfire


I was trying to come up with a blog post about My Nasturtium Spitfires for the Grow Project. I couldnt think of what to write, so I decided to show you the progress from begining till now.



I started my seeds indoors in Febuary. Since I had never grown them before I wasnt sure how I should start them.



After they were good and started I planted them in an area of my yard that was ugly and needed some Pizzaz!



The Nasturtiums took off really well in this spot, this is 5 weeks after planting outside. I hope they cover the ugly fence that my neighbor has up! I also have Pineapple sage and Thyme planted here.



Here is the side view. Im hoping they climb this old broke down ladder.



My kiddo planted these Nasturtiums in with  the Tomitillos!



Heres how they look today! They are really taking over this spot.



I really think they will do the job of hiding the UGLY fence.



I can no longer see my Pinapple Sage or Thyme! Well if you look real hard in the middle of the ladder, you can see the Pinapple Sage trying to make an appearance! How are your Nasturtiums growing?
