Planting Instructions
When to Plant:
- Plant seeds in early spring before the last frost.
- Cress grows quickly, and can be harvested in 15-20 days. Therefore, you can continue to sow Cress up until temperatures exceed 75 degrees F during the day, and then again in the late summer early fall when temperatures drop again.
How to Grow:
- Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, thickly in wide rows.
- Each row should be spaced approximately 18-24 inches apart.
- Make sure to choose a cooler, shady area. Cress becomes very bitter in hot weather.
- Water generously, make sure roots do not dry out. You can spray seedlings daily to keep moist.
- Thin the cress once seedlings are an inch or two tall so that they are six inches apart from each other.
When to Harvest:
- Cress tastes best during its early seed/leaf stage, so cut or pinch tips of cress once it grows to about 3-4 inches tall.
- If you cut the plant back to ¼ inch, it will quickly regrow.
- Snip the stalks off at the base, and store in your refrigerator. Generally, it will last up to one week.
