I had no idea it was easy to grow your own watercress. I thought you needed some kind of swamp or bog. Turns out it's easy to grow it hydroponically. So soon our resident llama, Al, will get it as a regular comestible instead of the rare treat.
Will the wonders never cease.

You're going to spoil him. Have you ever met a spoiled llama? This is why people are all about the alpaca. _________________ 006 member of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Mic. Bonded by sound.

he'll probably demand shade grown, free range, non GMO watercress now. _________________ "i know philip banks": todd ellis

Hydroponically grown watercress goes down nice with a case of Perrier. _________________ "Bailey"

in a bygone era it wasn't so much the watercress --- as it was the delivery system. _________________ "i know philip banks": todd ellis

I had one of those Areogarden things thats the all-in-one unit. I seriously grew so much that I couldn't give it away fast enough.
I think I had thyme, mint, dill, parsley and two kinds of basil. The basil pretty much exploded and took everything over.
They work great, and it was neat to make my own pestos. _________________ "The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve." - Buddha
