Do you have vegetable beds with ‘wet feet’, don’t despair…it’s the perfect excuse to grow spicy watercress salad!
Delicate peppery greens that will delight your tastebuds!
To grow watercress, just sprinkle the seeds on really wet soil…keep soil really moist and in a month’s time, you have yourself these beautiful gourmet greens.
It’s leaves, flowers, tender shoots…are all edible. However, if you prefer a milder taste be sure to harvest before they flower.
They can be used in salads, sandwiches and even soups…and are much in demand by chefs all over the world!
We enjoyed them in a delicious salad along with blood oranges and red onions…Mmmm!
