Up they came and then when the weather got too hot, and they shoot to seed, I pulled them all out. So I thought! Now they're bigger than ever. Very different taste to the store bought watercress though, a lot more sharper in taste. Not sure if I prefer it this way?gardenblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897668372612989306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788108771400702381.post-31522864908415864352011-06-19T05:32:07.330-07:002011-06-19T05:32:07.330-07:00Your garden looks fantastic!

I'd love to grow watercress as we eat so much of it, but always thought I needed to grow it in water!littlekarstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177535712034761585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788108771400702381.post-51605598592402398772011-06-18T16:31:25.780-07:002011-06-18T16:31:25.780-07:00Hi mark, yes I have a poly- tunnel, but we don'...Hi mark, yes I have a poly- tunnel, but we don't need it through winter. I will however use it come spring time when I plant out my summer veggies, as we can sometimes get a late frost.gardenblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897668372612989306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788108771400702381.post-60907336434322955562011-06-18T16:29:11.224-07:002011-06-18T16:29:11.224-07:00Thanks gooseberry jam for your post.

Those cabbages look GREAT! I've never done winter veg before, I've dabbled a little this year but don't think I'll have much luck. Next year I'll get in early. :)<br />Also, Chooks don't take up a lot of room you know, check with your local council, a little pen down the back for a couple of happy hens and you'll have daily fresh eggs and great garden manure!!!Gooseberry Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671764088273792304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788108771400702381.post-71450874735129802192011-06-18T00:28:08.688-07:002011-06-18T00:28:08.688-07:00Hi mark, thanks for stopping by my blog.

I get so excited when I plant our the first tomato plant for the season.gardenblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897668372612989306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788108771400702381.post-53981035373476780052011-06-17T22:50:05.560-07:002011-06-17T22:50:05.560-07:00Hi Gardenbliss; Thanks for visiting my blog.

Here in the UK there is not really much that will grow successfully outside during the winter: leeks, swedes, cabbages yes, but most other things need protection, such as a poly-tunnel (I wish I had one!). you treat broccoli as a Winter veg; I have to treat it as a summer one.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
