Mr. Tickle finds sowing seeds quite difficult because of his extraordinarily long arms and because he's usually trying to find someone to tickle! You should find sowing these cress seeds easier than Mr. Tickle does!Easy to grow outdoors in the summer and inside during the cold months of the year.If you like egg and cress sandwiches like I do, you'll enjoy growing these cress seeds. I grow mine on a sunny windowsill on a piece of damp kitchen roll or cotton wool. When the cress is grown, you can just snip some off with scissors and put it in your sandwich. Yum! Be careful with those scissors though!
