Wrinkled Crinkled Crumpled Cress: Just try to say that fast three times. When I first read about it in the Fedco Seeds catalog several years ago, I was intrigued, so I ordered a packet. I've not been disappointed.
This cress grows well in ordinary garden soil, and slugs and other pests don't bother with it much. Plant a short row in early spring, and in about a month you'll have plenty of bright little sprigs to mix into your salads. This cress is milder than arugula, with a taste that's vaguely reminiscent of nasturtiums, but not as strong. It has become one of my favorites.
Try growing some yourself, and let us know what you think of it.
