Garden cress grows very quickly and is often used in experiments in kindergarten. It can be grown in a glass, on cotton wool or in the ground in the traditional way. The plant actually only needs waterto germinate. The greens can be used to prepare a delicious and nutritious salad with a slightly peppery taste. All parts of the plant are edible, including the seeds. The annual herb can also be grown outdoors in fall or spring.
Cress can be cultivated in a variety of conditions and can germinate virtually overnight. Seeds only need water and little or no additional care. The culinary herb not only spices up the taste of dishes, but also serves a decorative purpose. Planted eggshells are a nice way to brighten up your Easter table decorations with some greenery.
For the eggs you need empty eggshells, cotton wool and cress seeds. Fill the empty egg shells halfway with cotton and sprinkle them thickly with the seeds. Place the eggs in a bright place and keep moistening the cotton. Best with a teaspoon. After about 1 week, the decoration is ready and can be served in a pretty, colorful egg carton.
