Check Here Before Buying – Pot Size Matters...Not all websites offer the same. Plants in a 2-litre pot have twice the root system of a P9 or 1 litre pot.
Cress is quick and easy to grow, and it tastes delicious in sandwiches and salads.The Unwins Cress Kit makes growing cress even easier, because everything you need to grow your cress is included in the kit.
Just follow these simple instructions, and in a few days you should be harvesting your own tasty cress:
1. Sow at any time of year.
2. Place a piece of kitchen roll flat in the bottom of the tray.
3. Water it lightly until it is completely wet, and then allow any extra water to drain.
4. Scatter a few cress seeds as evenly as possible over the wet kitchen roll. There should be enough seeds in the sachet for three sowings. If you sow the seeds too thickly, they will not have room to grow properly.
5. Place it somewhere light and warm, such as your kitchen windowsill. Keep the kitchen roll moist and do not let it dry out. After about a week, your cress should be between 2cm and 4cm high and will be ready for cutting. Do this carefully with round ended scissors. Wash the cress and use in sandwiches (it's particularly tasty in egg sandwiches) or add it to salads.
Remember
After you have harvested your cress, the tray can be cleaned out and used again.
