Ah, another reason to plant nasturtiums! (Besides the fact that they're pretty and taste good!) Wonder if I could get some to overwinter on my back porch, which always gets infested with aphids? Interesting stuff!
Caroline, maybe you ARE getting poor seeds for your 4 o'clocks. I once bought a package online and not a single seed germinated! And I tried them all. I'd offer to send you some of mine, but I'm not sure if we can send seeds from here to Canada. Anyone know?
