Hi
I put a few bits of watercress into water from a wilting bag of salad and they've rooted and sprouted, but I don't know whether to leave them in the water or to pot them. Never grown watercress before and also not sure when to harvest. The stuff you get in bags is lots bigger than this, so will this get bigger, or if I use the small shoots will that be bad for the little plants?
Any advice welcome as ever 🙂

No longer newish but can't think of a new name so will remain forever newish.
