Upland/Winter Cress

Also known as Creasy Greens.

I've been growing this little green for 3 years now and it's a great addition to salads in the winter. I've read that you can plant it in the spring but I plant it last part of July, early August. It will continue to grow new leaves all winter long then bolts in late spring. You'll never need to buy seed twice because of it's prolific seed pods.

It has some very beneficial properties to which is a bonus.

Sounds like an improvement on the bothersome bitter cress weed.

I like upland cress in sandwiches. The flavor is a lot like nasturtium.

although, bitter cress is actually kinda good tasting. a small consolation prize after hours of weeding.
