That's it Kristi. I find no difference in taste and smell. Your link mentions it might be even stronger in flavour. The leaves are also thicker than cilantro and you can cook with it. Your link also mentions cutting the whole rosette before it flowers. Which you can do, but I find it simpler to cut the flowers off and dispose. It is a strong grower and self seeds okay if you let it.

Thanks for the feedback on it Glen. I had seen it but resisted. In the southern US, cilantro is a winter herb that bolts when the weather warms. I will have to give your sawtooth version a try in both summer and winter. Glad to know it. K

LOVE your avatar photograph, Kristi.

Thanks Debra, from indoors I did also. lol On the other hand, my big fat old Lab was laid up by the fire. Like your avatar also. What is it about critters that draws us?

They don't ask anything complicated from us.

Debra your profile picture is so cute. Do you have two kids in diapers? They are too cute!

I know what you mean about our critters Pod. I have a sticker on my car that says "Hurt a animal --go to Jail". They need protection too, its not their fault they are here!
My feral Population has gone way down, I got two outside and two in and out and my one of thirteen years.. I told my BFF if we go to Seattle, my cats are coming too. I cant leave Snookie and Toonky back here, they would be terrified! So we settled on them being outside cats ... little does he know! LOL
Oh and this ... when the cats was released here some neighbors start letting their Dogs out, they killed my Seth and my Matthew! I closed the gate to my back yard, someone kept opening it for those dogs, We had to wire the gate! Oh but did I crate a scare! I got the city and Animal control looking for them I would walk the back alley, My friend gave me one of those spray things for people to use on the dogs, well I could not get out there fast enough and I was scared I would fall and spray myself. LOL

Sylvia, that is my great-grandnephew and my great-grandniece (they are cousins). He lived with me until about two months ago. She lives here and that is her mother asleep on the couch and whom they wanted to wake up--with NO encouragement from me, of course.

I agree Sylvia and when I've done good for abandoned critters, I'm always rewarded in some manner. So are you moving to Seattle? I only have 8 cats and 2 dogs & would have to move all and a ton of plants. I believe I'll just stay put...

Two things that make me stay put...my kitties and my garden!

Same here Linda. I wonder why sometimes with one asleep on the printer and one on the computer because they are warm.

First time I have ever grown nasturtiums, so this is probably quite boring to everyone else. I'm experimenting whether I can keep these climbing nasturtiums alive during the hot summer here, by planting them with climbing cherry tomatoes, so the tomatoes can provide them with a little more shade on the trellis. So far, the nasturtiums are outgrowing the tomatoes.

Perhaps you will stay cool enough to grow them. Then you can eat the blooms with your tomatoes in a salad if successful! I love them but it is too warm here.

Oh, that is a good idea. I should put that flower in a salad today.

I already ate up all the sugar snap peas, but I have a variety of herbs to add to my salad. Lemon thyme, parsley, sweet basil and arugula. I pulled a radish from the squash bed, but it wasn't ready yet. I wish one of the tomatoes were large enough to at least make fried green tomatoes to go with my salad. But no such luck this week.

I forgot to check if there is another flower on the nasturtium plants when I was hanging out by the garden today. Two flowers in my salad would be great. One really fresh flower, and the other a couple days old to experience.

Beautiful
you can also eat the leaves
I love them on cucumber sandwiches , they add just the perfect bit of zing and are already the perfect shape too

Mmm. Eating the leaves sounds good, I think I can thin some of the Nasturtium at one end of the row in front of the trellis. I've just been waiting for the leaves to get slightly bigger so the roots will be stronger. I'll eat the leaves of the ones I pull. I only found the one flower when I checked. It is looking a bit ragged today, so I better eat it quick before it looks less appealing.

Still haven't made my salad yet. I have sweet potatoes I cooked on the grill last night as leftovers to go with my salad. Waiting for the temperatures to be less hot before I get an appetite to cook anything. Even heating leftovers in the microwave sounds like it will make me too hot to eat and about ready to pass out. Every time I think of eating something, I end up getting something cold to drink instead. Then I end up hungry late at night when it isn't as hot. Then I practically want to eat everything I can find.

nasturtiums are so pretty. i grow some each year.

Deb - I love your herb garden! Any new photos of it to share with all of us here?

Does anyone have experience with using this herb, Gotu Cola? I discovered it was my major (invasive) groundcover. It is common and naturalised here.

Never heard of it. Sorry.
