LAND CRESS is usually described as an alternative to watercress, but I think that undersells it.
It’s an excellent autumn and winter vegetable in its own right, raw in salads and sandwiches or cooked in soups and pasta sauces. Fair enough, though — it does taste a lot like watercress.
Sometimes listed in seed catalogues as American cress, it’s best sown in July or August, and is generally regarded as an easy crop.
