Mom and I have been having egg and cress sandwiches regularly for the last few weeks and I was surprised at how much cress costs …..well, I had to do something about this , I mean, I can’t keep buying food can I ! lol……
I got a pack of seeds and I planted some in a punnet that we had had cress in from the supermarket ……that was I knew I was growing the right amount for our sandwiches …..hey ! I put a lot of thought into these things you know !
Anyway, quicker than you can say “ what’s Traceyjayne up to now ?”, the cress was grown.
I’m taking it round to Moms today.
I already have started a second punnet.
How long do you think it will take before I’m a millionaire with all this money I’m saving ?

Why do you grow cress when you can get it for free?

@DaddyEvil this is cress not watercress.
You would be hard pushed to find a clear stream around here.

Cress is supposed to be really easy to grow. That's a good idea of yours.

@JudyEv yes, it’s really easy to grow and it grows really quickly too.
