“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul.” Luther Burbank #mondaymotivation Thanks @plants for sharing. #nasturtium #summerblooms #summerflowers

“In China, there is an old saying: If you wish you be happy for a few hours, drink wine until your head spins pleasantly; if you wish to be happy for a few days, get married and hide away; if you wish to be happy for a week, roast a tender pig and have a feast; if you wish to be happy all your life, become a gardener.” ~ Peter Chan, Better Vegetable Gardens the Chinese Way, (c) 1977. #mondaymotivation

Thanks @plants for sharing this cheerful #nasturtium 🧡 #orangeflowers

Let’s hear it for the humble Nasturtium! It comes in a variety of colours and will happily self-seed. Thanks @qn for sharing yours. #nasturtium

@ausgardentags thank you ❤️

Have you wanted to try growing plants from seed but been too afraid you’d fail? Go ahead: plant those seeds! What have you got to lose? #mondaymotivation “To learn something new, you need to try new things and not be afraid to be wrong.” - Roy T. Bennett

Nasturtiums are easy to grow from seeds. Thanks @plants for sharing your lovely nasturtiums for #mondaymotivation 💛❤️💛 #nasturtiums

I tried, without success, to grow nasturtiums from seed a couple years ago. Oh well, I can just admire Judy's @plants 😁

Sorry to hear that Susan. Do you know anyone growing them? You could get fresh seeds from them? @novicegardenlover

Thanks so much @ausgardentags. Unfortunately, I don't. I had purchased the seeds on Amazon, because I think they should work in my climate. I may try again one day. #neversaynever

I hope you do try growing them again. They like poor damp soil, in full sun. @novicegardenlover
