That seed certainly grew!
These were one of the first I grew, impossible to fail with them even when you are less than 2 years old.!

If I'm not mistaken, the flowers are edible! My mom always had some in her garden!

Last summer I had these, but they became yellow on the stems and didn´t seem to feel really good in the window boxes and that place is the only place where they dont get eaten by the deers. So I am not sure where to plant the seeds I took. You were pretty cute as a little girl Andrea. I remember the sweet photos :)

What a sweetie, you truly were born with a 'Green Thumb" Andrea.
Wow you lived in quite a mansion when you were young, a lot of rooms to hide in --- Smiles.
Like how the Nasturtium seeds look a lot like walnuts.
Thanks for sharing.
P.S. I withered a cactus in my botanical days. My great aunt fed her plants tea and talked to them daily-- and her mix of flowers always looked so pretty.

Your childhood pictures are a delight! Clearly, you were born to muck about in the garden. Wonderful shots! I can't wait to see your nasturtiums. I love their colorful faces!

Inch by inch, row by row, Gonna make this garden grow. Gonna mulch it deep and low, Gonna make it fertile ground. Inch by inch, row by row, Please bless these seeds I sow. Please keep them safe below 'Til the rain comes tumbling down. ~ Garden Song, Pete Seeger
So many of your images bring back memories. My parents were a practical pair so although we gardened when I was a boy we grew mostly vegetables. And Mr. Fothergill, to this American it seems such a quintessentially British name.

when you posted this, I looked at your childhood pictures and they were great. In one of them you have great long boots, in another, great overalls with a classy touch. (For some reason they reminded me of Katherine Hepburn! Very young...) And you grew up in a servant's quarters? I've read about that, but you're the first person I've known who actually did it. Did you learn to play pool? BIlliards? Anyway, great shots. And this shot is fun too, for the shriveled wrinkled seeds, and that great packet. Yes, ala Mark, "Mr. Fothergill" is DEFINITELY not an American name. (Try Biff. That's American.) And I know so little about gardening, "gleam mixed" and "semi trailing" go right over my head. Is that pitiful or what? And I gardened for income in my teens!
(and btw, in the States, pool halls are a whole other thing...they're dark and seedy, and you got hustlers and gamblers, and guys you don't wanna beat for fear of them catching you in a dark alley, and hangers-on who are a whole other universe...maybe you have them in Britain, I don't know I've been in several, and you gotta be made of nails to walk in those places) (or 'joints'---"Aowwww, you wanna go to the pool joint tonight?" The film "Color of Money," by Scorsese, was about them---one, right here in Chicago...)
