and as far as nasturtiums are concerned... though no doubt looking very beautiful but the actual blooming without fertilizer is much more prominent... imagine if you replace the leaves with flowers and the flowers with leaves.. my experience of fertilizing nasturtiums was very lush green growth and all the flowers hidden beneath the leaves.. only a few poking out..

:shock: :shock: :shock: You have to save the seeds of all the varieties that you have grown... specially heirloom sweet peas and echium i want them :oops:
and in my first experience this season of growing Nasturtiums if you can take off the larger leaves that hide the blooms you can achieve a more radiant display... it will be a back breaking work but will be worth the effort. :)

@Tahir..thats what i am doing regarding Nasturtiums......I am a deadheading Freak!!!...A single faded bloom is "located" and destroyed
I will save seeds as last year and all interested members can have them, provided i am able to harvest them

And one more thing :-)....Your sent seeds are a day away from bloom

Floral Flush is preceded by Sky Flush yet again.........Rains for last 24 Hrs, Redo, redo and redo is what have been happening here
My next garden will be a green house that is a "Pakka promise". whatever the scale.

Thanks all

Update
Its 4 in the morning. Rain damage is beyond assessment. Water everywhere.......
Look at these 10 Ft sweetpeas .........they are so much "Thankful to nature" that they are kissing the ground for the "showers of blessings"
I wonder why we are the SUPER DUPER BLESSED ones here.......LOL
