It's watercress time!

Yesterday was beautiful and it wasn't snowing, raining, sleeting or otherwise dripping cold wet stuff from the sky. So of course we had to go down to the spring fed branch of the creek for the first watercress of the year.

It's not always easy getting to this little emerald patch of nutrition. Fortunately, the main branch of the creek was not too high and we found a couple of very large rocks to make a little stepping stone bridge though the shallowest part (which I always need my balance, er walking stick to negotiate!)

George volunteered to get the icy foot while I snapped a photo of the beautiful springy expanse of green.

We will sell a limited quantity of watercress. Email me or call and leave a message at 608 788-4039. Please give me a few days to fill your order. If it's raining, hailing, sleeting or otherwise nasty weather, I will probably need to wait to harvest more.
