Wicker flats

Did you know? In the Victorian Era watercress was hugely popular. Mostly due to the fact that the railway was created and enabled farmers to ship tons of watercress. The farmers would pack the watercress in wicker flats and the street vendors would buy it, then sell it in bunches to the public.

Play With Your Food


                      While searching the kitchen, found my old turkey cutting board and decided to play 

                      with my food. I discovered two things: One: Chickens LOVE watercress, too! 

                      Two: Eat away from chickens because they will jump up to steal watercress.




Who can blame them?
