Watercress can be a bit finicky to grow, but upland cress gives you the same flavour - just a bit stronger - and without the hassle. This ancient food plant has recently been rediscovered by gourmets and is starting to make its appearance in high-end fresh produce stores, but its almost laughably easy to grow. Best of all, it can last as long as two years, giving you piquant leaves all the way through its life cycle.

Upland cress is rosette-forming. Pick the outer leaves by nipping them off with a scissors or fingernails.
