I really wished I'd known that before I planted them. They are pushing everybody out of the way down under the feijoa tree even as I write, but at least they are very easy to pull up, if needs must. You know that they are edible eh & the small leaves are quite nice & spicy in salads too.<br />I've got braver about ordering Cath Kidston stuff & I'm so glad that I did. You have to order enough bits to make it worthwhile. I love the pattern on the mug in your picture but I have a feeling that that shape cup is really quite enormous. Two cups of tea in one!

I hope I have luck getting them to sprout next spring.<br /><br />Your nasturtiums are wonderful. I have never grown them before, but you have me wanting to plant some next year.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-16946850919894693532013-09-23T05:03:55.590-07:002013-09-23T05:03:55.590-07:00Your place is always so colorful and cheerful!

Hope you all had no ill effects from the recent rains and floods. My son said they were all fine where he is. I have been rummaging around in Ancestry and discovered some distant relatives who seem to live in your same town! It is a small world . . .

Did you try adding them to your salads(lflowers)? They are low maintenance and hardy and gives you lots of happiness in return. I isn't morning glory some sort of a weed? I remember them growing in almost every fence in my hometown in the Philippines. <br />Thank you PomPom for dropping by and yes I will keep posting those spring flowers.
