Love that you are reusing containers. I'm starting to do that now too :-) mine have been mushroom containers. I've been keeping these brown kombacha bottles that my daughter buys that look like old medicine bottles. I'm sure they will come in handy at some point!
Many scientific studies* have been done to discover the healing properties of this plant. The leaves have been found to contain powerful antibiotic, antimicrobial, antioxidant and general tonic actions, and can aid digestion. Studies show the unique compounds in nasturtiums to be effective against some microorganisms that are resistant to common antibiotics; may help prevent and relieve coughs, colds and flu and eating 3 seeds daily helps build up resistance to viruses, colds and measles. One leaf eaten per hour at the onset of a sore throat can drastically reduce the severity of the infection. It is also used as an expectorant, anti-fungal and antiseptic. Perhaps you can see why I love this herb so much! ** (See disclaimer and references)
“I am using the nasturtiums almost daily now I’ve realised their many health benefits. Herb guru, Isabell Shipard recommended eating 3 fresh leaves 3 times a day a few months ago when I had a cough that just wouldn’t disappear for over a month. I only managed 3 leaves twice for one day and the cough went overnight! An impressive outcome and I put this down to the fast working antibiotic action in the plant.”" https://themicrogardener.com/20-reasons-to-grow-this-amazing-herb/

have so many nasturtiums that reseed like weeds, was thinking they might be a “prepper food” 😹 … wondering what vitamins they have.
