Title: to swap Land Cress
Post by: ipt8 on January 25, 2007, 09:22:19
Approx half packet of Browns Land Cress seed dated 2006. I only grow a few each year so these are excess to requirements. I have found they grow well outdoors, in a polytunnel and in pots. They make a nice addition to a salad and everyone seems to think they are a good water cress alternative when they try some.

Wanted in exchange: cucumber fo polytunnel, sweet peppers, hot peppers, viola - or WHY (what-have-you)?

I've got some Cucumber Marketmore.

Are they very invasive because I'd like to put some in a raised bed?

cheers

As far as I know they are not invasive. They tend to make a little clumpy plant which I pick a few leaves off as I want them. I think the last post may refer to the fact that I still have plants from last year resprouting now. PM me with your address if you want to swap.

Land Cress self seeds very willingly, we sowed it once about ten years ago and still have plants coming up to provide fresh leaves all year round!
