TIL that watercress is in the nasturtium genus...and nasturtiums aren't.

Watercress is Nasturtium officinale, nasturtiums (at least the ones in my garden) are Tropaeolum majus.

The overlap in name is due to them both producing the same "nose-twisting" oil, which gives them their lively flavour.

Went to market today and bought:
- two #BaguetteTradition and two #RumBaba from the best boulangerie-patisserie in town;
- a big poulet fermier, to be roasted by us;
-a pair of Boulogne #kippers for #breakfast tomorrow,
- four bunches of #watercress,
- some onions, a #scarole, une botte de ciboule, and (as a treat) half a kilo of "tomates gustatives", the only ones with any flavour at this time of year
- a small selection of cheese
- beurre fermier, crème fraîche and fromage blanc, all made from unpasteurised milk

#Watercress anyone? Yeah, I’ve let it get a little out of control. And by “a little,” I mean “Whoah…” 🙃

I've got #Chicory, #Dandelion, & #Poke #Potted in #Buckets in a #Kitchen #Corner.

I've got #Watercress stretching out of a #Pot standing in #Freshwater.

I've got #Chickweed going to #Seed - three months early - on the #Windowsill.

"Most #Weeds don't make it through #Winter.
They need warm #Rain & steady #Sun.
#Frozen #Soil inhibits #Root growth;
#Snowfalls discourage #Sprouts.

Even #Watercress, which usually positions itself in flowing water, gets #Hurt by a #Freeze.

If you live in an area where the #Snow falls over several #Months, you know that small #Sigh of #Sadness when you go out to gather wild things, & #Frost has taken over.

I found this on the counter today. My partner had left it for me. It is a watercress bloom. They pick some of this green everyday, as it is a favorite. It is touching that they left this beauty behind for me to discover. One seed grows a surprising amount of this food in a #HydroponicGarden setup. #flower #watercress #IndoorGarden #romance
