    I would like to grow nasturtiums — have no luck — what’s the secret ?

      They tend to grow like weeds around here in sandy soil with rains in the winter and dryness the rest of the year. If you haven’t tried scattering them in moist potting soil or planting them right next to the drip emitters, give that a try. Once they get going they will re-seed themselves and return year after year (unless you live where snow/ice kills seeds over winter). They don’t require food or much of anything else. In other words they don’t need coddling.
