When to plant nasturtium in Tennant Creek
- Sow in the ground: early May to mid JulTennant Creek area, hot semi-arid
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Tennant Creek. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A cheerful, edible trailing flower that works as a trap crop: aphids and cabbage white caterpillars often go for it first, sparing your veggies. Peppery leaves and flowers are lovely in salads. Easy from seed, even in poor soil.
