Sow cress seeds on kitchen towels and always keep them moist

Cress seeds are offered in sachets on every seed shelf. It is cheaper to buy bulk packs from gardening shops or seed stores.

  1. You need two flower pot coasters made of clay of the same size. Cut the size of the base from three layers of kitchen paper and moisten the paper well. Then sprinkle the cress seeds close together.
  2. Put the second coaster in the first. The bottom of the second coaster must rest on the seed. This pressure prevents the seedlings from shooting up.
  3. Keep the germination vessel warm and make sure that it always remains moist. Once it dries up, the effort has been wasted and you'll have to start over.
  4. After approx. 3 days, when the first light green seedlings appear, you can remove the cover, but you still need to ensure constant moisture. After approx. You can start harvesting the cress sprouts grown from cress seeds within 5 days.
  5. Grow your own seedling for natural food - this is how it works

    With freshly grown seedlings you can prepare salads, soups and raw vegetables ...

  6. By sowing new seeds at regular intervals, you always ensure an adequate supply of healthy, vitamin-rich sprouts. When you sow cress seeds in the garden, you harvest the herb, not the sprouts. After a short time, white flowers appear. You should remove these to prevent unwanted spread by self-sowing.

At Easter you do not have to buy your children nests with "plastic grass", you can use a suitable container, e.g. B. a flat casserole dish for growing cress use. This gives you a natural, edible Easter basket.
