The black bits are probably some sort of aphid, squirt them with some washing-up liquid and water.
By the way, do you ever eat your nastursiums? They have a great peppery watercress flavor.

my grandfather would eat nasturtium leaves on bread. they are way too peppery for me but here in Australia, the flowers are very popular in salads.
will try ms Robyn and tell you if i enjoy it
