Aint Nobody Happy if Nasty's Aren't Happy!

But, I'm not complaining today!

These Nasturtiums have shown that they Really Prefer cooler weather. They started very well this past spring. However, once summer weather arrived, even though it wasn't nearly our traditional hot, dry summer, the nasturtiums began to yellow, die back, and generally look terrible. I was quite disheartened.

However, if you click here, you can see the difference between September 9 and today!
Amazing, don't you think?

Happy Days are Here Again! :-)

These 'Spitfire' nasturtiums were provided by Renee at Renee's Garden (click here) for the "Grow Project." Thanks, Renee!

"I'm growing Nasturtium "Spitfire" for the Grow project. Thanks, to Renee's Garden for the seeds."

We were out of town from August 2 - August 16.
The nasturtiums were pretty much "on their own."
It did rain, but it also was Very, Very Hot and dry most of the time.

Here are photos I can share:

The best looking bunch are out in the Sunny Corner Bed.

This one plant in the front pot looked photo-worthy,
so you can see what it looked like today.

These little fellows were planted in my friends' garden
on May 28. You can see the post by clicking here.
They do not seem to be thriving . . .

Last Spring, I my friends and I began this flower garden in their front yard.
It's in a rather low spot with clay soil (the usual fare around here).

Now, check out the photos below! This is what their garden looks like today.

Nothing 'shady' here!
Have a Great Day!!
