<p>Watercress has a pungent, peppery flavor which says 'spring', and is a favorite in tea sandwiches, with cream cheese, in soups, salads and as a garnish. Plant in moist soil for best results. If you have a spring or small running brook on your property, sow some watercress nearby and you’ll be rewarded with tasty pickings every spring. Ht. 12 in. 245 mg. (Nasturtium officinale) Annual.</p>
