Runs in the family; 4th generation working today during the holidays #family #son #nephew #succession #sunbeamwatercress #watercress
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
Traditional methods still being used, the witches brush …..it enables us to protect the leaf and stem with the cold weather now here, encouraging new shoots to grow for a thicker crop in a few weeks time .
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.
Our winter cress is now fully established, ready for harvest over the coming months
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 .
