Eating Nasturtium

I do not like nasturtium in my mouth.  I've tried the flowers.  I've tried the leaves.  I've tried the seedpods.  I've tried these all straight off the vine.

However, nasturtium seedpods when picked green and soaked in pickle juice for two weeks are pretty good.

I may yet try the trick of cream cheese stuffed nasturtium flowers.

Finally, a poppy flower.

Small human visitors had picked the fuzzy buds before they got to bloom last month.  I am so glad this one got to this stage.
