With the first spell of really cold weather forcast for tonight, its essential we protect the leaf and stem from the frost…. minus 4 is expected. The spring water at source is 11 degrees , which is going to keep the frost at bay once the watercress is rolled in .
Taking a look back through the albums. Seen here, the Founder of Sunbeam Watercress Ivor Noble, inspecting the restructuring of the gravel beds, during the expansion in the 1950s #history #watercress #farming #generations #family #succession
Our winter cress is now fully established, ready for harvest over the coming months
Spring is definitely here. Seed planting is now well under way . Ready for harvest in Early may.
The first dip in temperature of the season is due this weekend. By gently pushing the heads into the water we can protect it from frost and make sure we have great quality cress available all year round
Simply the best of English Watercress you will find around at this time of year. We are unique being able to supply watercress 52 weeks of the year, despite the testing winter, we are still able to produce a large leaf, clean stems , full of flavour. #supportlocal #Romseywatercress #sunbeamwatercress
Starting to raise the water levels to protect the stem and leaf . Ready for our first cold night
