Can we talk nasturtiums? The seed capsules pickled like capers, the leaves as a spicy green, and the flowers in salad. No work - just a bit of seasonal rain :)  Even though the gardeners ripped mine out the seeds fell and with the bit of rain we had they are thriving. Had some tender young leaves in soup the other day.

 

Yes, for sure.

I usually plant "Empress of India" because I'm weird about having things a 'certain' way. LOL

The 'capers' are great. 

Many years ago, when my maternal grandmother grew nasturtiums—we usually ate the leaves in sandwiches, egg salad and the like.

But they're great in salads, as are the flowers—as you mentioned.
