Yesterday, on a short walk along the new Ten Mile Creek Greenway, the greenest thing I found was once again watercress. (See March 3 posting.) Islands and islands of lush water cress.
February 28, 1860: "I am surprised to see how my English brook cress has expanded...Many of the sprigs turn upwards and just rest on the water at their ends, as if they might be growing. It has also been eaten considerably by some inhabitant of the water. I am inclined to think it must grow in the winter."
- Henry David Thoreau, "Journals"
