Growing at a glance…

Cress seeds are incredibly easy to grow. Can be sown all year round in moist compost. Sow indoors and keep on a windowsill or under glass. Sprinkle the seeds close together over the surface of the soil. Remove access to sunlight to help the seeds germinate, which they should do within 4 days. Pop them on your windowsill or somewhere that gets indirect sunlight. Harvest when needed by snipping the leaves.
