watercress
information on this. They grow in water but need nutrients, not just water. Mine grow in the pond in the mud at the bottom and sometimes come loose and just float around. They may be annuals, they certainly appear and disappear from time to time. I don't fancy by daydaisy

What veg and salad can be grown in clay-flint-chalk soil?
that also contains chalk. Is there anything that can grow in those conditions? Mainly I've used big plastic tubs filled with organic compost. Depending on the weather, I've grown onions, spring onions, lettuces and radishes. Carrots and parsnips have by Bob Flowerjuice

Talkback: Growing veg in shade
plants which tends to bolt such as lettuce, pak choi, parsley (mushrooms). They seems to cope better in a shade. We had reasonable results with french beans, peas, nasturtiums, swiss chard. Carrots were a bit small. We also grow runner beans on sunnier by Pink Heather

problem area in garden
I have an area of garden that from October to May gets no sun at all and if we get lots of rain becomes boggy. The rest of the year however it gets sun from midday to sunset and so can become quite dry. I have no idea what to grow, I considered by amateur gardener
