Cress seeds can be planted year-round, as they grow quickly and thrive in cool conditions. However, they are best sown in early spring or autumn when the temperatures are mild. Cress is perfect for indoor growing, allowing you to enjoy fresh greens throughout the year. If planting outdoors, sow in early spring or late summer to avoid the heat of midsummer.
Cress seeds can be sown directly in soil or in trays on a windowsill. Simply scatter the seeds evenly over moist, well-drained soil and lightly press them down. You can also grow cress in shallow containers with a layer of compost or even on damp kitchen paper. Keep the soil or growing medium moist, but not waterlogged, and place the container in a bright spot. Cress does not need much space to grow, making it perfect for small containers or windowsill gardens.
Cress seeds germinate very quickly, usually within 2-3 days, and can be ready to harvest in just 7-10 days. It’s one of the fastest-growing crops, which makes it a great choice for gardeners looking for quick results or for children to try their hand at growing. You can expect fresh cress in under two weeks from sowing the seeds.
Cress is a nutritious and versatile herb, known for its peppery flavor. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals and is often used in salads, sandwiches, soups, or as a garnish. Growing cress from seed is quick, easy, and provides a fresh source of greens even in small spaces. It’s a great choice for beginners or anyone looking to add fresh herbs to their meals without much effort.
Cress grows well in containers, seed trays, or directly in the ground if the weather is cool. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and requires a bright location to grow. Cress is ideal for windowsills, kitchen counters, or small garden spaces, making it easy to grow indoors or outdoors. Keep it in a spot that gets plenty of light for the best growth.
