All the flowers are pretty and clearly much enjoyed, but the gorgeous flowers spilling over the fence are something else.

Hi Tatiana,

Those are nasturtiums, and its a window box I planted on the garage wall beside a patio.  Theyre super easy - I poked seeds in the soil in May and there they are - outgrowing everything else in the box by this time of year!  They dont even require fertilizer - too much would produce all leaves and no flowers anyway.  Theyre great in salads BTW.
