Have you ever thought that colors move our days? Colors attract us and us inspire. So why not propose ideas in the form of color to enrich your green spaces!

This week we thought of the bright and bright orange color, capable of filling spaces with light. For your balconies and edible gardens we offer three herbaceous plants that cannot be missed!

Let's start with the garden nasturtium, Tropaeolum majus, that perhaps you could have admired as a edible leaf in some salad! Well the nasturzio is good, but also and above all beautiful and useful. It is a herbaceous plant, with falling or climbing bearing and with rapid growth. Both its rounded and lucid leaves and its particularly decorative orange flowers are edible and recall the taste of the crescence. They combine fresh with salads, sauces, sandwiches, as well as being an interesting decorative addition on the dishes! Nasturzio also represents an excellent plant to 'cure' other plants from attacks by aphids and cochineal. As? Attracting these dangers on himself and recreating a protective balance in the gardens.

Surely you have heard of the marigold, Calendula officinalis! For many, a herb of the vegetable gardens, which rejects every year with its pretty orange daisies, for many others an ingredient of many soothing creams. Calendula is in fact a valid help for skin care, but also a luxuriant and edible proposal for your gardens. In fact, leaves and flowers are edible and you can add fresh to soups, risotto, salads. Bulch flowers can even be kept as pickles! Did you know that Calendula also acts against the nematodes of the ground? These parasites, which inhabit the subsoil, and which could represent a risk for other species, are kept well away from our calendula!

Finally, in a vegetable garden or in the self -respecting balcony it cannot be missing taglies! Erect tagetes: A concentrate of color and desire in summer. These plants give prolonged blooms, love sunny exhibitions and require few care. Like Calendula, Tagete also intervenes on the nematodes and often planted near other vegetables in the gardens it improves its growth, representing an excellent ally for cultivation. These bright flowers are edible and are added as a decoration to various dishes. Want a perennial TageTes? Try ours too Tagetes lemmonii, very fragrant and equally edible leaves and flowers, also ideal for refreshing drinks with a fruity taste!

Stay tuned!
