Details
- Sow: All year round (indoors or outdoors in suitable conditions)
- Harvest: Around 7–10 days after sowing
Planting
- Soil: Moist, light and well‑drained
- Aspect: Full sun to partial shade
- Indoors: Sow in compost in small punnets or trays, or on soaked tissue paper or a saucer. Keep the medium constantly moist and in good light; thin daily by snipping seedlings near the base as they grow.
- Outdoors: Broadcast in small blocks direct into a prepared seedbed; keep surface moist.
Care
Cress thrives in a consistently damp environment and germinates quickly at moderate temperatures. Pick young shoots with scissors when they reach 5–8 cm tall for the best flavour and texture. Sow in succession every few weeks for a steady supply.
