Well, the cold snap finally finished, only to be replaced by what seems like weeks of rain. Not that we mind here! This rain helps feed the natural chalk springs that all our watercress grows in, for a natural peppery product. Even the robins stop by for a quick drink.
Just like us, even the cress likes being tucked in when it’s chilly. https://sunbeamwatercress.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/VID-20230212-WA0000_1.mp4
Last year’s crops have been cleared out, and the new crop is growing well. It’s amazing what a bit of warm, damp weather can do. We grow fresh from seed every year, and can get multiple cuts over the course of the seasons. It’s just a question of which coat to wear or not wear….
It’s never too early to start training the next generation, the fourth generation in fact. Definitely not afraid to get his hands dirty (and everything else). Terrible tea maker though……
