Easy way to Grow Watercress - Part 2: Plant out

Watercress is pretty easy to grow, as I have recently discovered!  A few weeks ago, I started my watercress plants (the easy way) and now, they are ready to be harvested.  I had a few plants that died when unexpected cold weather froze the water over, but overall, my success rate has been really good.

Wild Garlic in the Woods

If you are lucky enough to have woodland close to where you live, then look out for the wild garlic that grows within.  As we walked past this field, we could not help but notice the delicious garlicky aroma that wafted by, and as we followed our noses to its origins, other walkers let us in on this well kept neighbourhood secret, that this was in fact, edible Wild Garlic, also known as "Ramsons" or "Ramps".
