Watercress update

Holy Cow this stuff is already growing roots and getting colour. I only
threw three bunches in on Saturday. I stuffed some stems into the rocks
in the waterfall and they are growing already and the waterfall has
never looked better. If you want a cheap plant for your pond then this
is a start. $2.00 CDN for 3 bunches.

Thanks all for the advice !!!

where did you get it for that price?

also, where about in canada are you? i'm in east ottawa.

I'm in Hamilton, ON and when I buy watercress I get it at my local grocery
store - it's usually in bunches in the fresh herbs section. It's much
cheaper to it from a grocery store than a garden centre.

He got a great deal.. I got mine for $2 a bunch American, and that would be,
what, $2.50-$3 Canadian?

I live in the Greater Toronto Area and yes I have fish and the temps are
about the same as in Ottawa and probably a little warmer.

This year my pond is in transition. It's actually waiting to be filled in
and a new one put in as we relandscape our yard. So, no fish for me this
year... so far, anyway. I'm sure I'll be adding some a bit later. I always
rescue a feeder goldfish or two to stock my pond. Do you have any fish in
your pond? Do they overwinter?

i hadn't done enough research last fall to know how to overwinter them
so i just put them in a large aquarium. they all survived. i'm going to
wait until the water stays at a consistent temperature, around 15
before i drop them in.

they are feeders. last year when i got my first batch of feeders they
all died because the water was too cold. the same thing happened with
the second batch. the third batch went in mid may and they all survived
until now.
