Growing Information:
CULTURE: Curly, Presto, and Wrinkled Crinkled Cress: Sow shallowly in a 2-4" wide band, early spring through early fall or indoors, year-round in a flat, about 20 seeds/inch. Begin harvest in 10 days when 2" tall. Sow every 2 weeks for a steady supply. NOTE: These cress types are so fast-growing we suggest planting in, and harvesting from, a flat (with soil and/or soilless mix). Also for "sprouting" like radish/alfalfa seeds. SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: Avg. 10,600. MINI: 1 gm. (avg. 380 seeds, sows 19 sq. in.). Upland Cress: Direct seed from mid-spring onward, about 15 seeds/ft., covering 1/4". Keep soil moist as seed germinates slowly. Thin to 4-6" apart. Pick individual leaves or clip full rosettes at the root. SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: Avg. 19,000. MINI: 0.5 gm. (avg. 325 seeds, sows 20 ft.). Watercress: See culture in product description. SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: Avg. 155,400 seeds/oz. MINI: 0.25 gm. (avg. 1350 seeds). |
