Nasturtium

Hi, I grew upright nasturtiums from seed and planted them in a border, the leaves have grown so big and tall you can't see the flowers, I also planted in tubs and these are a normal size with flowers, should I cut the leaves back to show the flowers?

    You can take some off. They often produce a lot more foliage if the soil is rich, so that may have been the problem.

    As the leaves (and flowers) are edible and very tasty, you could add some to a salad or sandwich and kill two birds with one stone 👍
