Hello everyone,

I would like to plant fruit trees in my garden but I’m not sure which fruit trees can be planted next to each other and which should be kept apart. Do you have any advice on this? I’m looking forward to your responses.

Nasturtium

Hi!

Nasturtium originates from South America. There are different species, some of which can be considered climbing plants, while others are more compact. The leaves are almost circular. The flowers are especially attractive due to their vibrant colors. Another interesting point is that the flowers start off mostly yellow, then more and more orange flowers appear, followed by red ones. The climbing nasturtium can produce vines that grow up to 3m (10 feet) long. The flowers look like bright splashes of color, which is really beautiful.

Additionally, both the leaves and the flowers are edible. A salad with nasturtium flowers is truly eye-catching, tastes great, and is healthy!

Nasturtium is also very well suited for companion planting. It can be grown perfectly alongside broccoli, cucumbers, potatoes, roses, pole beans, or peas.

Best regards,
Gartenbauer 🙂

hi,

I remember my mother also had nasturtium in her garden. Apart from the fact that this plant is good for fruit trees, you can also pickle the closed buds, for example in vinegar. They taste quite similar to capers, very good!

hi yung!

I know nasturtium, I even have some plants on my balcony and like to eat the leaves in salad. But I’ve never heard that you can pickle the flower buds. I guess this is a very old recipe that hardly anyone knows today. Could you maybe explain in more detail how to do it best?

Mara 🙂
