Cress - Vegetables

Mustard Cress 1 packet A delicious salad and sandwich ingredient which takes up little space and a very small amount of your time. Children find it fascinating to watch it grow as in only a few days it produces healthy and nutritious food. You can grow Mustard and Cress by sowing this packet and a packet of T&M's Cress in the same or separate containers. Sow the cress 3 days before the mustard so they will be ready at the same time. - more info from T&M

Polycress 1 packet A welcome addition for your salad leaves. Best grown outdoors. Quick maturing with an upright habit making large, dissected, slightly pungent leaves about 25 days from sowing. Sow in succession for a complete season of 'baby salad leaves'. Slow to bolt if kept well watered. - more info from T&M
