I planted basil seeds because my family is wild about pesto. I also planted nasturtiums around the edges of the pool, so they would eventually drape over the side, and look cool. I also love putting the flowers and spicy leaves of nasturtiums in salads. But you can plant any flower or vegetable that doesn’t have deep roots.
