This red geum is in full bloom and mingling with the first of the nasturtiums. There's also a Spanish Poppy in the picture, but it just looks like another nasturtium. All the garden books say nasturtiums do best in lean soil - they won't have as much foliage but they'll have more blooms. All the nasturtiums I have this year are reseeded from last years crop that edged by garden beds, and it's totally true. The ones that are coming up in the veggie beds have huge leaves and are nowhere near blooming, the ones that came up under a nearby tree in cruddy soil have anemic looking foliage but are already in flower.

I still have a hard time not tossing compost and manure on everything though!
