How to Plant and Grow Watercress Nasturtium officinale
Some people have a sweet tooth, and treats like brownies and ice cream call to them. Others, like me, have a spice tooth.
We like lots of chilis in our food and for our salad greens to bite back.
If you fall into the peppery spice-lover camp, watercress should be front and center in your gardening arsenal.
Actually, even if you don’t love spice, it should still feature prominently. The greens lose some of their pep if you cook them, while retaining a bright, green, fresh flavor.

Watercress is an aquatic plant, so we will, of course, cover hydroponic techniques for growing it in this guide.
But it also grows well in soil, provided you give it enough moisture. And it makes a smart indoor or outdoor plant, so apartment-dwellers and homesteaders alike are covered.
Although it’s an upright grower in water thanks to its hollow stems that allow it to float, watercress will also creep along the ground, making it a marvelous edible ground cover in partially sunny areas.
Hardy in USDA Zones 6 to 9, anyone can grow this leafy green as an annual, though it’s technically a perennial. Ready to join the watercress party?
Coming right up, here are all the things we’ll cover:
Let’s dig into the history of watercress first.
Cultivation and HistoryWatercress is a brassica and it enjoys the cool conditions and ample moisture that most brassicas do.
Despite the botanical genus name Nasturtium, it isn’t closely related to nasturtium flowers, which are Tropaeolum species. And don’t confuse watercress with cress (Lepidium sativum) or upland cress (Barbarea verna).

This Flat Croissant Ham & Cheese Sandwich Recipe Is the Perfect Savory Breakfast
If you love something, make it flat—that’s how the saying goes, right? When it comes to flat croissants, at least, that’s definitely the case. We all know (and love) the classic flaky croissant, but bakeries and home chefs have taken the pastry to new heights (or lows?) by flattening it and frying it to make it even crispier.

Tried-and-trusted techniques to help plants to grow back more strongly than ever
There are certain nuggets of good garden advice, so counterintuitive that they seem to make absolutely no sense at all. Why on earth, for example, should we pinch out the growing tip of a perfectly healthy seedling or plant stem as a way of encouraging it to fatten up? “Leggy”, after all, is usually a term of admiration rather than opprobrium. Likewise, why would pruning back perfectly healthy shrubs — essentially cutting away their lovely strong shoots and branches- possibly make them bushier and more floriferous when surely it should result in the exact opposite? In the same vein, why is it a good idea to shear back lavender plants that are only just beginning to fluff up again after a long, dark and dismal winter? And what, oh what, is the Chelsea chop, which sounds to the uninitiated like some form of plant abuse?
