I was too lazy to take a picture of my seed packets but that is the same picture that is on the packets. I went to the Burpee web site and found it there. They are nasturtiums. I spent $2.00 on two packets and that is my gardening budget this year.
When I first moved here I tried to grow vegetables and had some mixed success. Lettuce does really well but the vegetables of my childhood do not. These flowers though, are perfect here. They like my regrettable soil and they don't mind some neglect. I would like to think that I could bloom so well my whole season when planted in poor conditions. At least I would like to not grow bitter like lettuce does long before the growing season ends.

Gardening is one thing I've never been able to crack.
We all try in our own way to bloom where we are planted.
I have no talent for gardening, but I do enjoy pretty flowers.
One of the few things I miss about being married is working in my yard. I have one major green thumb abd nowhere to use it now. Cheers Marilyn!!
Good luck. I've tried vegetables for teh first time and so far, I think my poor tomatoes have been massacred.
I keep reminding myself to learn how to plant garden vegetables for the coming apocalypse but I'm usually too distracted by Guitar Hero.
I have no gardening budget this year, but that's probably for the best.
Plants hate me. They die immediately as soon as they recognize me.
Good luck with the nasturtiums.
You could conduct an experiment:
Pick one of the flowers and tell it your name is Janna.
See if it lives.
Anthony: I'm not really good at it myself. It's a lot of work.
Jamie: I think most of us do a pretty good job.
Travis: Flowers lift the spirit.
Matt-man: You can come mow my lawn anytime. I wish I had a green thumb.
Andrea: It's still early yet. They like warm weather. Maybe things will look better in a month or do?
Whall: It'll be very competitive, trying to stay alive. Please keep playing guitar hero.
Janna: I'm not good with plants either. They don't jump up on you and remind you to take care of them the way pets do.
