Indoor garden comes with cress

Indoor GardenIt's Spring and everyone is planting. There is no need to be left out of the fun just because you don't have a yard. This miniature garden would do the trick do bring Spring indoors.

It comes with seeds for edible clover, cress, lettuce and mustard. I wonder how they came up with that assortment. I, for one, had never even heard of cress. I looked it up on Wikipedia and found that cress can refer to any of the following:

  • watercress
  • land cress
  • garden cress
  • winter cress
  • rock cress
  • thale cress

Which type of cress comes in the garden? You'll have to let me know. The mini garden is $30 and can be purchased from the Sarut Group.

Want to test your own green thumb?
