Well I was browsing a veg gardening book in a shop earlier and noticed a picture of something called Land Cress. "That's the weed I have been pulling out for years" I thought to myself. Well, I got home and found one and indeed it tasted peppery and delicious just like cress. I will now cultivate it as much as I can. I like surprises like that. You learn something new all the time :-)

I have Land cress envy.
Tried to grow it a few times last year and forgot about it so it never got going.
What a nice surprise :-)If someone has lost their smile, give them one of yours. :

I find it self seeds easily - I let it get on with it in the GH and there's always some to pick right through winter.Comment

Yes, it has given me a possitive start and I feel I owe it to you all to give you something good instead of a moan.Comment

Thank you for sharing, Marb. I'm so pleased for you.
Hope this is the start of a good year and that it gets better and better

Thanks. I am usually at my lowest Jan Feb so hang on to anything with a glimmer of hope. Been through a horrible year personally too gardening aside.Comment

Lots of us feel a bit low during the short days of winter, but spring is on its way, snowdrops and crocus are out and the daffs have buds. How are your flowers doing?Comment

I used to grow landcress but for some reason hasnt done anything last couple of years.
Have done well with watercress aqua, very easy to grow and tastes greatComment

Here's a daf from 21st January to prove vc's point. Oh,and my cress? It splatted in a frost and now looks like the cress you find in a forgotten sarnie....Comment

I have quite a few early flowers on their way and some about to come out. Snakehead Fatillery, snowdrops, wild garlic, primula, grape hyacinth, and more.Last edited by Marb67; 10-02-2015, 10:12 PM.Comment

Sounds lovely Marb. The spring flowers are my favourites, I love seeing the garden waking up after the winter.
