 Nasturtiums  with Corinne Mossati Quite often we gardener have flowering plants in the garden but never think about bringing them into the kitchen to make something. They may be just fillers or self-seeders, but in this case, the nasturtium, has so many extra uses other than ornamental, you’ll be inspired to do something. Germinating  Nasturtium Seeds. Plant the seeds in moist well drained soil, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Corrine find it takes between 14-21 days.   Why not try the Alaska variety with variegated leaves, or 'Black Velvet' with deep red flowers and dark leaves. The one pictured is growing in my garden, is 'Cherry Rose.' Eating Nasturtiums-Corinnes'tips: Leaves taste peppery and are great for adding with other greens to salads. Why no try drying the leaves and grind them to a powder.  When combined with salt you have a condiment to flavour food or crust the rim of your margeurita cocktail glass!   Nasturtium flowers are edible too. Use them as you would zucchini flowers. Nas
