How to Grow Greek Garden Cress Seeds in the UK
When to Sow
Sow indoors throughout the year on a warm, bright windowsill. Outdoors, sow in summer in a prepared bed or container. Make regular sowings for a continuing supply.
Sowing
For young shoots, scatter seeds over moist kitchen paper or a shallow layer of peat-free seed compost. To grow larger leaves, sow in moist compost in a container or directly into a prepared garden bed.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a bright position and the growing medium consistently moist, without waterlogging. Allow plants grown in compost or soil to develop if you wish to harvest larger leaves.
Harvesting
Snip young shoots with clean scissors when ready, or pick larger leaves as needed. For repeat harvests, leave some foliage on established plants and allow them to regrow. Wash harvested leaves before use.
