Product description

• GROW ALL YEAR ROUND: Plain Cress has a slightly stronger flavour than the curled variety with different leaf formation to give variation and texture to a salad. It is a dual purpose type that can be grown indoors on your window sill all year round or outside directly into soil in frost free months.
• GREAT FOR INTRODUCING KIDS TO GARDENING: Cress is a very quick and easy vegetable to grow so its a great way to introduce children to gardening. It can be ready to harvest in as little as a week! Cress is an annual plant that can be grown all year round. Its rich in vitamins B and C, making it a healthy side for many dishes or add into a salad.
• HOW TO GROW: Can be sown in compost in small punnets, on soaked tissue paper on a saucer or broadcast in small blocks in the garden. Keep the growing medium wet at all times. Window sill sowings should be thinned every day, snap the seedlings near the base as required.
• TOP GROWING TIPS: Needs little attention apart from ensuring the tiny plants are kept moist at all times. Cress for salad garnishing is an all year crop but in the midst of winter use warm water and move away from cold windows.
• GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS: Cress is a great starter vegetable to grow with children. Planting veg, herbs and flowers is a wonderful way to spend time in your garden, cultivate mindfulness and appreciate the little things just like in years gone by. Working with the earth and growing things is immensely satisfying – teach your children or grandchildren this priceless skill of harvesting food in their own gardens, allotments, greenhouses, inside the home in pots or even in community gardens!
