I have lived in apartments like yours. ...Hi Nicole! I have lived in apartments like yours. All I can say is, I had to find some pretty creative solutions to grow the plants that I longed for. <br /><br />Nasturtiums are one of the easiest plants I know. They will happily grow in pots or even better, in hanging baskets. <br /><br />Are you able to put a plant hook in the ceiling near a window? If so, you'll be in business as far as growing nasturtiums (and your cat will never reach them if they're hanging from the ceiling) Enjoy!MLThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483115106817358443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068521005435522509.post-20475510354729207682012-04-26T09:40:22.392-07:002012-04-26T09:40:22.392-07:00How ironic that a flower with such an interesting ...How ironic that a flower with such an interesting name is also edible. I don't think I've ever grown them but they are pretty flowers. I wonder if they can be grown in flower puts but then again even if they could, my space is not only small but restrictive. My apartment doesn't have a patio or anything like that and my windowsills are small, not wide, so they aren't very pot-friendly. <br /><br />In fact, Bamboo plants and roses were the only green things I've had in my apartment because they could go in a Vase or container on my kitchen table. Hmm...maybe that's a option for these Nasturtiums? Let's just hope my cat doesn't get to them, lol.<br /><br />~Nicole<br />Blog: <a href="http://www.madlabpost.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MadlabPost" rel="nofollow">@MadlabPost</a> on TwitterNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068521005435522509.post-39294163353543704482012-04-22T19:46:11.976-07:002012-04-22T19:46:11.976-07:00They're beautiful!

They are so color vibrant, intense, cheerful and while we do try to grow enough flowers that will also provide for some of our 'wild rabbits', if I remember correctly, the 'wild rabbits' leave the Nasturiums alone. I've heard they can be eaten by we humans, but I have never tried that.
