I wanted nasturtiums in my veggie bed, so I planted them with vining cherry tomatoes. I hope the tomatoes, along with the wooden trellis, will provide the nasturtiums enough shade to survive the summer heat. I was worried my plan failed at the start because the tomatoes were a no-show. However, I discovered that I am more blind than I thought I was, because I noticed several tomato plants of a good size mixed into my nasturtiums, which are also growing quickly now.
I have two kinds of nasturtiums and want to plant the other kind in my herb bed. But I'm drawing a complete blank trying to come up with a vine to grow with my nasturtiums in my herb bed. Yes, they must be herbs to continue with my theme. And they must like full sun. I suppose the nasturtiums will provide some shade, but I do not have a wooden trellis, just a fence in the herb bed. I would prefer a perennial because the nasturtiums are annuals.
Thanks. I can't wait to see what people suggest so I can slap myself and ask, "Oh! Why didn't I think of/remember that one?"
