Give water cress a try. It appears in sandy areas along my stream bank every
year.


My great grandparents harvested horseradish that grew along streams on
their dairy farms. Be cautioned that horseradish is extremely hard to
kill once it gets established.


haha, no i won't be planting horseradish as
while i do like a little once in a while i don't
like enough of it to grow it. as this garden is
part of the area where i've been knocking back
