As a fellow gardener, I love reading about your garden, even if it's not all "good". I've been purging these last couple of warm days--invasive species that are running wild.

Do you eat the nasturtium pods? I know the flowers are quite spicy and nice in a salad--what do the pickled pods taste like?

I'm saving some seeds for planting next year. I think the pretty bi-colored zinnias are hybrids, so heaven knows what any flowers that come up will look like. This is my second year with marigolds, which were uniformly marigold-maroon with yellow centers.
