Spring is coming. Febuary every year we start to clean out lasts years crop and start to propagate our first seeds, ready for planting in the first week in March.
Starting to raise the water levels to protect the stem and leaf . Ready for our first cold night
Our winter cress is now fully established, ready for harvest over the coming months
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
