Orange nasturtiums and purple basil

If there’s an upside to accidentally ripping out an entire climbing nasturtium, it’s that you’ll have a beautiful salad that night. A peppery, colourful, beautiful salad.

1. You could make some delicious vinegar with it too: http://small-measure.blogspot.com/2011/08/guest-post-seattle-seedling.html It’d probably get infested with aphids soon anyway. Mine always do. :)

2. Love the colors! I always like to throw a handful of nast’s in a salad for dinner guests .. kinda freaks them out if they’ve not eaten them before. The vinegar sounds intriguing, I’ll have to see how many blooms are left!

3. Thanks, Tom! I loved the orange-purple combo, too. My mom always told me they were garish together, but I love ‘em!
