climate change – plants – the time – nasturitum 18

The time

Autumn begins in Germany in September. The light is now getting noticeably shorter. It is still warm. The seeds of the nasturtium are still green, but its flowers have already become smaller due to the decreasing light. You pick their last flowers and say goodbye to summer.

Collect the green seeds of the nasturtium (Tropaeolum) and leave them to dry in a cool, dark place. You can use the nasturtium flowers in salads. Nasturtium is a medicinal plant.
