Garden Cress
Certified Organic
Lepidium sativum
Tasty addition to salads and sandwiches.
Garden cress is similar to watercress, but is more potently flavored. It's truly peppery; compared to arugula, it has more tang and less body. It really livens the palate, even when it's used sparingly on salads and sandwiches. Easy and fast-growing; it bolts quite quickly so, if you enjoy it, plan succession sowings.
This product was grown and processed on our own certified organic farm, Four Fold Farm, in the Hudson Valley of New York State.

Garden cress is a cold season green that requires steady moisture. Can be started outdoors early-mid spring and early fall. Cress does not tolerate heat, so avoid sowing in the summer months. Harvest as soon as it reaches 3-4" tall.
Garden cress can also be grown successfully in containers: sow thickly, allowing about 2" between plants.
