How suitable are these seeds for indoor growing?

These garden cress microgreens seeds are specifically suited to indoor growing on a bright windowsill or kitchen counter. They can be sown in small trays or shallow pots and grown indoors all year round, from January to December.

What kind of flavor and texture do the garden cress microgreens have?

The microgreens develop fresh, peppery micro leaves with a fine texture and a crisp bite. They are ideal for adding classic cress character to salads, sandwiches, soups, egg dishes, and as a garnish on many plates.

How do I sow garden cress microgreens?

Fill shallow trays or pots with a fine, moist substrate, then sprinkle the seeds evenly over the surface. Gently press them in and cover with a very thin layer of soil. Keep the tray in a warm, bright spot out of direct scorching sun and maintain even moisture with a spray bottle or light watering.

How should I care for the microgreens as they grow?

Keep the growing medium consistently moist and make sure there is good air circulation so the seedlings grow strong and upright. Place trays in a warm, light position but out of harsh, direct sun, and rotate containers regularly so the microgreens grow evenly and do not lean toward the light.

When are the garden cress microgreens ready to harvest?

Harvest when the seedlings have formed their first small leaves. Cut the microgreens just above the surface of the substrate, rinse gently, and use immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Can I enjoy continuous harvests from these seeds?

Yes. For staggered, continuous harvests, simply repeat sowing at regular intervals in fresh trays or pots. This way you can keep a steady supply of garden cress microgreens available in your kitchen.
