    As I recall from her edible garden series most of her foraging consisted of begging veg off local allotment growers :D

    Apologies in advance to all Alys fans, especially Rummer ;)

    Alys introduced me to the himalayan balsam... the one with the seeds that fly out in all directions. We used it as a seed for our bread last autumn and it was laaaaavely. I didn't see her forage much else though.

    I don't bother looking for watercress as it grows quite easily in an old washing up bowl in garden.

    Whoa!

    How?

    I live in watercress country, but to grow my own would be fab! Do you need running non-tap water?

    Would really appreciate some hints.

    Thank you!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I wondered if anyone knows if it is ok to take wood from a tree that has blown down on the canal bank? Its a bit of a random question but i dont want to get into trouble taking it. Will it belong to British Waterways? Do i need permission do you think?

    It should belong to whoever the tree belongs to.

    If no one sees you then they can't complain.
