The nasturtiums have really outdone themselves this year. The colors go every direction, deep coral, apricot, and pink, spilling right over the edge of the raised bed in a way I never planned but am happy to let happen.

Beyond just looking good, they’re doing real work too. The flowers pull in pollinators and the leaves double as a trap crop for aphids, so I let them sprawl among the vegetables instead of keeping them in check.
