Regrow your Wild Watercress for Fun or Food

Regrowing wild watercress
After having my salad recently this was down to leafless stems, roots and soil. I decided to see how quickly it would regrow. It's doing pretty well outside under an umbrella with a good shot of morning sunshine. I've had to add fresh water to it every day since it evaporates quickly, but it's fun to watch the little leaves come back on. At this point there is enough regrowth to use as a garnish or to add a little peppery surprise on a sandwich.

From nothing to something in nine days.


Fresh greens to enjoy!
