Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors by sprinkling seed on moist kitchen roll, cotton wool or a thin layer of seed compost. Cover with kitchen roll until seeds start to germinate, then remove. Keep moist, do not allow to dry out. Cut with scissors when about 5cm (2”) high. Sowing to harvest takes up to 14 days. Regular sowings made every two weeks will ensure a continuous supply. Cress can be sown outdoors in a seedbed in summer, it will produce larger, hotter leaves.
Soil Type: Kitchen paper or compost
