Nasturtiums - lost my nasturtiums on my fathers allotment - blackfly. No blackfly on french beans though.

Thank you both. Coriander not running to seed quickly will be a novelty!

I hadn't appreciated that nasturtiums were good pest repellents. They are so easy to grow, and brighten the plot up a bit. I'll try next year, and maybe eat some of the leaves in salad too. Cheers.

you can eat the flowers too!

Lupins will break the soil up with their long tap root, devil to get rid of after though
