When to SowAll year round
Where to SowPlain Cress seeds can be sown in various ways: in small punnets filled with compost, on soaked tissue paper placed on a saucer for indoor growing, or by broadcasting them in small blocks directly into the garden soil. This versatility ensures that you can enjoy fresh cress all year round, whether you prefer indoor or outdoor cultivation.
What to do NextEnsure the growing medium remains wet at all times. For window sill sowings, thin the seedlings daily by snapping them near the base as needed.
HarvestThe cress should be ready within two weeks of sowing.
