Watercress can be a bit finicky to grow, but upland cress gives you the same flavour - just a bit stronger - and without the hassle. This ancient food plant has recently been rediscovered by gourmets and is starting to make its appearance in high-end fresh produce stores, but itÂ’s almost laughably easy to grow. Best of all, it can last as long as two years, giving you piquant leaves all the way through its life cycle.

How to Sow
While most veg seeds want to be just moist, upland cress is rather fond of wet conditions. Choose a wet area of your garden. They will tolerate dryer conditions once growing, but will not yield well.
How to Harvest
Upland cress is rosette-forming. Pick the outer leaves by nipping them off with a scissors or fingernails.
