Lost some beans but gained some watercress

[Sonata]

I had two pots of tendergreen beans that were all germinating and doing rather well. They were outside, but they seem to have rotted. Could it have been all the rain?

My watercress (teeny tiny at the mo) is loving it at the moment though, and the toms that have been planted out seem much happier. I still have 5 spares that are in 5" pots (far too small), but do I plant them out into 10L pots? I'm planning on giving them to my ILs...

Beans don't usually rot unless it is very cold and wet. The name would suggest a french bean which don't like any sort of drop in temperature. Well done with the watercress I'm on my second sowing now and have watercress almost every day. For the tomatoes the bigger the pot the better as it will reduce the time needed to look after them. 10l pots will need watering 2/3 times a day if we get the predicted hot summer.

where do you get your watercress seeds from? I'd love to grow my own.
