Lucky you! I can't find watercress anywhere in my area. With the recent
influx of Asians perhaps they'll start to carry it. Like most plants
there are probably several varieties.



I bought a number of bundles of it last year, and the fish ate it up faster
then it could grow..

Yeah ....the stuff I put in the pond the fish chewed it up and bit of
them clogged the pumps. I then learned my lesson to keep it out of the
pond where fish can eat it so I only put it in the waterfall.

Mine always was grown just in the waterfall. Then, when there was enough to
harvest, it got fed to the fish and my family.

========================
Thanks for telling me that. If I do find it I'll put it in the settling
tank with the parrots-feather. :-)
