The way it's going out there, if you're not growing your own food already, you will be soon. This sweet and stylish zine contains everything you need to know about your soon to be favourite garden mainstay, the nasturtium. Ridiculously easy to grow, you can eat the flowers, pickle the seeds, make a salad from the leaves, or just let them grow freely in big dangling ribbons with bright colour flowers popping out here, there and everywhere.
Nast-awesome, really.
