How fast does cress grow?
Extremely fast. Curled cress sprouts in just a few days and is often ready to snip in about 15 to 25 days, making it one of the quickest crops you can grow.
When and how do I plant cress seeds?
Sow thickly on the surface of moist soil and barely cover the seeds (they need light); they sprout in just 3 to 7 days. Grow it in cool weather or on a windowsill year-round.
Can I grow cress indoors?
Yes. It grows beautifully in a shallow tray on a sunny windowsill, making it a favorite for kids and year-round harvests.
How do I harvest cress?
Snip the leaves with scissors once they are a couple of inches tall, taking what you need. Use it fresh right after cutting, since it does not keep long.
Why did my cress bolt?
Warm weather makes cress flower quickly. Grow it in cool spells or indoors, keep it consistently moist, and pick it young for the best leaves.
How do I use cress?
Pile it onto sandwiches, especially egg and cucumber, scatter it over salads and soups, or use it as a peppery garnish and microgreen.
