These pictures are beautiful. Nasturtiums are really easy to grow, and they come up fast. The plants are frequently planted in gardens, because they attract aphids and other pests away from stuff like tomatoes and lettuce.

i think if i could afford this courtyard i could afford a better (any) security system. and i would not build this gardner-courtyarded house in brookline, not by a long shot. i might, however, make nasturtium bitters for my personal enjoyment.

I think I know what Sam at Drink will be up to on Sunday. You heard it here first, folks.

I was sorely tempted to steal a nasturtium blossom, invent a floral cocktail, garnish said cocktail with stolen flower, and name it The Gardner Heist. because I think there needs to be a cocktail called The Gardner Heist.

so that brookline thieves could break into it and steal all the nasturtiums?
