Its work includes relationships with American farms and seed donations to schools and community gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurly cress has finely divided leaves resembling parsley or chervil atop thin, branching stems. Curly cress is dark green and is also called curled cress, curlicress, fine curled cress, moss curled cress, and extra-curled cress. Curly cress is a biennial that thrives in damp soil. Quick growing cool-weather vegetables, cress has many forms. Plant curly cress early in the spring, in late summer or fall in moist but well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlanting Instructions:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurled Cress grows nearly anywhere, but it prefers rich, moist, well drained soil and full sun or partial shade. Since it is a cool weather plant and excess heat tends to give the leaves a bitter taste, it should be grown in the spring and fall in most areas. After the last spring frost or in late summer, direct sow the seeds 1\/4\" deep in rows 6\" apart, thinning to 3-6\" apart when the seedlings appear. If planning to harvest cress at a small size, the plants can be spaced 2-3\" apart. Keep the ground moist for the best growth. For a continuous harvest, sow a new crop every 10 days. Cress also grows well indoors for sprouting, since it does not need soil for germination. Weed control and sufficient moisture are crucial to the healthy growth of cress. Since it has shallow roots, take care not to disturb them when removing weeds. A layer of mulch often helps conserve moisture and control weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buyamerican.mom\/collections\/seeds-growing\"\u003eseeds growing\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buyamerican.mom\/collections\/garden-seeds\"\u003egarden seeds and growing essentials\u003c\/a\u003e at BuyAmerican.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:PRODUCT-DETAILS:END --\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- BA:SPECIFICATIONS:START --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican grown seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterfowl Friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSDA Zones: 3-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold as seeds for planting.
