Nasturtium: flowers and leaves

Those who come to the farm to pick up their shares probably have seen our small nasturtium bed in front of the wash station. The bed is too small to distribute in our regular shares, but we've noticed that even though nasturtiums are in the U-Pick list shareholders almost never pick them. Please do so before they are zapped by a killer frost. Nasturtiums flowers are edible. They add color to a salad and have a mild cress-like spiciness. The leaves are also edible. Although they are stronger tasting than the flowers, a few nasturtium leaves are a great addition to a salad.
