  • I would personally avoid Nasturtiums as they self seed like crazy & are a pain to get rid of.

      Oh dear, I thought they were supposed to be especially beneficial and good to eat too??

          • Nasturtiums are beneficial as they attract blackfly which the good bugs can munch on. The problem I find is that if you don't lift them early enough they drop their seeds and you'll have lots of rogue plants next year........Anyways, less of my waffling. I've been playing with the SFG today & here's an update:

                  I'm getting very excited about this SFG! It's just so versatile - and doesn't have to be too structured, which suits me fine ..!
                  I don't mind having a good plan, but sometimes there can be something that comes along that you might want to try - and with this SFG it can be manipulated to suit - can't wait to get started now !!

                    • Nasturtium seedlings are easy to recognise and easy to pull up, so I wouldn't worry if they spread themselves around a bit.
