nasturtiums

[dewisfamily]

i have a lot of nasturtium seeds growing on my allotment will the first frost kill them or do i need to get every one out by hand?

It's unclear if you want to save them or not, however the frost will kill them.
I always collect the seeds to sow the following spring. Perennials need lifting and storing over winter.

i want to get rid of them.

I would have expected the seeds to survive but the plants to be killed

[Flighty]

In that case leave the frost to kill them and pull up any unwanted seedlings that appear next spring!

the nasturtiums are self seeding , you will notice them once you clear them up, or
pick the flowers and freeze them , they very peppery in stews salads etc

As others have said, the frost will kill the seedlings but not the seeds.  I made the mistake of planting a packet about 3 years ago.  They looked very good covering an unsightly compost heap but the seeds fell into the compost..........I used the compost on other parts of the plot.........I've got flippin' nasturtiums everywhere now!

am i the only one who actively throw in the ripe seed heads of my hardy annuals, so i can look forward to them self seeding all over my beds :). they are weeded out so easily if they come up where i don't want them.
