    first time growing looking forward to seeing how nice they taste

  2. s.wallace1 (Verified Buyer) –

    Good quality cress seeds which are super easy to grow. They have a lovely peppery taste and are great in sandwiches and salads. I use to buy sprouted cress in the supermarket until I read, they are mixed with rape seeds. So much cheaper to grow your own and more satisfying too.

  3. Place the seeds in a tray and cover with a lid or another tray to create darkness.
  4. Keep the seeds moist by spraying water daily.
  5. Remove the cover after seeds have germinated, usually in 2-3 days.
  6. Place the tray in a well-lit area but avoid direct sunlight.
