The nasturtiums are taking over the world. Our back porch has disappeared. There are 8 pots with blooming nasturtiums right now, and 2 of them must be embracing the notion of manifest destiny (although they are headed east, maybe back to the mothership). One pot has tendrils that are at least 6 feet long. If we wake up as pod people one morning, please check the nasturtiums for trace evidence of our mortal remains because they do seem otherworldly and vaguely sinister. Don't be beguiled by those cheerful blossoms and coin-like leaves. They are on the move.
