I love nasturtiums. They grow in the most un-fertile dirt, look beautiful, and you can eat the flowers in a salad- they taste like mustard. They choke out the weeds, which on our farm is a huge plus. I nearly called this blog Wakefield Weeder, since weeding obsesses so much of my time.
Nasturtiums are so easy to grow, they are annuals, and then at the end of the season, from the flowers (in August/September) come beautiful little brain-shaped seeds
Which can be collected, and then spread to dry on a piece of newspaper somewhere warm and dry over the winter.

I collected and dried these late last September, and then planted them this spring. They all came up, no problem.
