Thank you so much!! I love Nasturtiums,I grow Alaska, its variagated leaves are so lovely!! A Question for you!! (If you dont mind?) I live right next to the main road into our City, Exhaust fumes day in day out~ for so many years,,,I cant afford to test the soils,,, ~ and I worry about lead levels in the soil, and whether its safe to eat what im growing,,, if not, what can I do about it?!! I would love to Clean-up our soil,,,, ~Especially for future generations!! TIA!! Andrea and Critters. ...XxX....
I love these plants!! So do my chickens. I started them a couple years ago and now I have some growing (in 9B) in a dormant bed. I did not know nasturtium was so good for us. Thank you, John. I really appreciate all your work!!
This was the first seed I got to grow when I was 15 and I have enjoyed growing them ever since. I add the leaves and flowers to salads in small amounts and pick a piece or two every time I pass them and nibble.
Nasturtiums are my favorite flower, and I grow them every summer here in Connecticut. The flowers have a peppery taste, but I've never eaten the leaves. I will this summer.
Your videos have moved me to grow medical plants and Indian Cress is going in asap. Also I plan on getting a blinder for the flowers and leaves and stim. Thanks for caring.
Something John didn't mention is the varieties labeled "Majus" / "Minus". Make sure you know which one you're planting with your garden design because Majus is a trailing variety and Minus is a bushing variety. This will matter when designing your garden.
Hey John ..watched you for years and just watched a vid from like 7+ years ago .. How is it you do NOT age at all.. kinda spooky you know ;-) Maybe it is the way you eat hahahhaha..God Bless you and thanks for all your videos with amazing tips..EDIT" just found a vid you did 11 years ago !!! .. OK truly amazing and truly spooky
Your content is gold and I appreciate you sharing this information so thoroughly. Now I need to get me some nasturtium seed, one of those seeds I used to have a lot of but somehow lost lol, joys of moving.
I live in Mid Michigan Zone 5 and mine go to seed and come back every year. They do move around somewhat, popping up randomly throughout the garden. I cover that garden area every fall with a fresh layer of composting mulch. Not sure if that is why they survive the winter but sounds like it could be,
LOL, John, I am not growing this because it refuses to stop sprouting EVERYWHERE in the garden, and grows itself like crazy 😂 The flowers are known to be edible, and I think I even juiced the leaves a few times... definitely blended the greens for compost tea/soup recipe before. I can't wait to see what you have to say in this video, as I may start eating it more!
John is this one that can be dehydrated and powdered? I'm growing my third or fourth Gynura Procumbens. Every time I grab some leaves off of it to snack on I think of how I learned about this wonderful plant from you! Thank you for all that you do.
I live in the California high desert and I'm trying to find a good seed source for edible plants that can grow in my extreme environment... Do you have a good seed source for someone on a budget trying to grow in the desert?
It seems to be becoming popular in South Florida, though it is pretty fragile to the high winds of hurricane country. Seed of M. oleifera is available online, but I haven't seen the others.
@@twinkletoes7248 Oops. I misread, was in "Brassicales" mode, and thought you'd written "Moringa" somehow. Not sure about Neem (Azadiratcha indica). I am in the wrong climate to grow it, though I suspect parts of CA, AZ, and South FL could pull it off with the right irrigation/pH/nutrients. I do see neem oil sold here as an organic insecticide/fungicide, but it is probably imported.
John is that Salvia Apiana - White Sage in front of you? If so have you used it for tea or cooking? We smudge it but I have been afraid to cook or make tea with it other than throwing some inside a chicken. Some websites say you can others make it sound scary like it is a strong medicine? Your thoughts and info on this would be greatly appreciated. We are in SoCal zone 10a
Pieris rapae (imported/small cabbage white) is capable of eating it. If you aren't trying to cultivate for other butterflies (or moths, but not many people garden for them), Bacillus thuringensis kurstaki should solve that. Uric acid doesn't seem like a good thing (gout?) but I suppose in small doses, we could handle it.
Dude, what tf is your playlist setup, you literally might as well scroll the video section and keep scrolling.. it’s basically the same because you have tons of playlist with just ONE video in it!! 😂

read about Nasturtium Capers Made From Plant Seeds
Love this man! He was one of the first on TH-cam. Now in hindsight people are seeing how ahead of time he is.
I’m in Indiana with hot humid summers. Now I know why my plants didn’t do as well as I hoped. Now I will try again in part sun/ morning sun. TYFS
I love these plants!! So do my chickens. I started them a couple years ago and now I have some growing (in 9B) in a dormant bed. I did not know nasturtium was so good for us. Thank you, John. I really appreciate all your work!!
I wonder if it makes the chickens anti-cancer lol that would be really cool
Savinng humanity one yard at a time

I’m planting nasturtiums this year for the very first time. I’m very excited!
I used to put those in salads. I used to grow those flowers in Az.
Thank you for ALL the Knowledge 😌
Love these plants 🌱
I love this plant. It doesn't really like my hot high desert climate and becomes a pest attractor, but it still manages to grow, so I keep it.
Your videos have moved me to grow medical plants and Indian Cress is going in asap. Also I plan on getting a blinder for the flowers and leaves and stim. Thanks for caring.
I made wraps with leaves and the flower for the filling. Tastes peppery
I grew it as micro greens. Nastiest thing I ever put in my mouth
Thank you so much! Going to grow on my patio this spring!
I had these huge 2 seasons ago. I will def grow em again and eat them this time!!
Thank you, just ordered some as I have a perfect place to put this.

your energy is the best man
Good to know. Mine sometimes reseed themselves, love the flavor of the whole plant. Iowa 5b
I like juicing it with wasabi arugula, raddish, & broccoli microgreens. Spicy and delicious
Love nasturtims. The peppery flavor is amazing
Seems like it would be a decent house plant
Awesome sauce brother! Thank you! I'm gonna chow some nasturtiums this year for sure! Right next to the Giant Ladies thanks to the man TD!
John you really brighten my day Everytime I watch, thank you
Wow I didn't know this! I grew them last year just because I think they're pretty, but now I'll make sure to eat them!
Awesome thanks 👍
Thanks so much Bro John! Love the links to the Description. Cool.
Great video thanks for sharing.
gonna try some stems and leaves... I have only eaten the flowers, thank you John!
Great video John! Thanks for the insight into the uses of the Nasturtium :)

Awesome John you are.
Last week planted a bunch of nasturtiums.
Awesome job
Hi! Keep on Growing! 😚🏵️
I tried growing watercress and it was a totalfailure. Maybe i’ll try again. Thanks for video

In Scotland we call this plant Tom Thumb.

Nastertium is delicious
Do you offer live classes here in Vegas? I live here.

Nasturtium tends to flower more in bad soil. If the soil has a lot of organic matter and /or well fertilizer you'll not get a lot of blooms.
The best
I live in the California high desert and I'm trying to find a good seed source for edible plants that can grow in my extreme environment... Do you have a good seed source for someone on a budget trying to grow in the desert?
Me to live near 29 palms. Want seed store.
Have you tried other species, like "canary creeper?"
Thank you will go on side of my home.
Excellent. Do you have or know anyone growing neem? Anti cancer aswell. Hard to find in the west. Popular in India from what I know. Thanks!

Very good John.. Where can I order this pack of seeds?
Hi I watched your videos time to time. U happened to have another channel? It came across to me with your profile pic too. So confused.
I grow the microgreens. Quite the spice

My nasturtium (Seattle) were always covered with black aphids. Anyone else?
@@JohnSmith-pu4jg That was my experience. Thanks.
Yup !
They are used in permiculture gardens to attract aphids away from crop food. They also attract pollinators.
Nope you're wrong John!! .... I'm growing a ton of these, different varieties too. 😋🌱
Nasturtium right?
Aphids love these plants.
Bugs only attack stressed plants caused by poor soil.
I am pretty sure i ordered seeds for these the other day as an edible plant to attract pollinators. Dual purpose.
🙌🏽
Grow some American gooseberrys john
I don’t think they taste like watercress at all. They are burny
Looks like gotu kola on steroids!
Love the vids, love your insightand experience. BTY it's not Garden Sturtium Flowers; it's garden Nasturtium flowers.
