Marigold
Zinnia
The roses are doing well too. They need constant care for fungal diseases at this time of the year.
Marigold is a very forgiving and disease resistant plant. It is relatively easy to transplant as well. Zinnia is more tricky. About 50% of transplants did fine. I use the Scott rooting and
transplanting solution to avoid shock for the transplants.
Nasturtium (June 07)
I found that it was fine to transplant the nasturtium after about 4-5 leaves. They did OK. I have put them in different parts of the yard, some in the pots and some in the ground. They are all doing fine. These are the ones from the pot in the porch growing in partial shade.
The leaves and flowers of nasturtium are edible. The leaves can be mixed in salads and the flowers are a rich source of vitamin C according to many websites.
