Cress Seeds

This is the "peppergrass" of 19th century America, botanically unrelated to either upland cress or watercress.  Cress is easy to grow and adds a high note to just about any salad.  Sow seed 1/4" deep in rich soil as early in spring as the ground can be worked, either in rows 6-8" apart or by broadcast.  Keep well watered; harvest when the leaves are 4-6" tall.  For continuous crops, sow often and provide shade in hot weather.
