You live in a beautiful spot to enjoy nature to the full, a bubbling brook going past making a gurgling sound enough to lol one into sleep.
Watercress fresh you should be able to pluck it and place it into raw salt with water for half an hour to remove whatever creepy crawlies are on board Melinda.
Lovely photography on nature around the home.

Thanks, Joan! I have tried salt water, but even after a good long soak there were too many unappetizing crunchy bits among the leaves. Maybe I should try leaving it in salt water overnight and then doing a triple rinse the next day!
Condis crystals my Gran used, I wouldn't suggest though, rough salt over night may do.
Not sure about snails in your region, if in doubt wash thoroughly with salt and cook in butter, perhaps not the fresh you looking for but most definitely safe.
I've never had it cooked! I would like to try that.
Found some tips for you to try from a local forager watercress have fun with your fresh supply.
Great watercress tips! There is much there that I didn't know. Thanks for thinking of me.
