ID: 50405 | Planting Tip: Soak in warm water up to 12H for improved germination. Direct sow as early as 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or grow indoors year-round. Germinates in ~14 days at 7°C. Requires 40-50 days to reach maturity but harvest can begin 15 days after sowing. Keep soil weed-free. Avoid growing in direct sun. Pinch to promote new foliage. Harvesting Tip: Cut or pinch out cress tip as needed, cut-and-come-again. Begin cutting once 3-4″ high. Plants cut back to ½” will regrow quickly. Cress is tenderest at the early seed-leaf stage; harvest cress well before it matures. Sprouts can also be used. Storage Tip: Stand stems in a glass of water in the refrigerator, changing water daily. Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and refrigerate. Use within 3-5 days for best quality. |
