The humble #watercress is more than just a garnish on the plate. Experts are calling it the most powerful food on the planet after discovering it can actually improve athlete performance. #health #healthyeating

"This year, I've been #Cultivating #Weeds #Indoors to ease those #Winter #Doldrums.
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.
My wild Winter Garden...#Garnish-es winter #Meals w/ #Sprigs of wild #Flavor, #Nutrients, & #Color."

"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.
