| "Slow growing" is the key here. I'm used to plants in the mustard family being pretty vigorous, so this was a standout. The slow growth, flat rosette habit, and deeply lobed leaves made weed control challenging, which in turn got the few leaves pretty muddy. Plan on growing a lot and mulching to get enough to be worthwhile. On the plus side, a pretty plant with good flavor. |

| Creasy salet was one of my favorite greens as a boy. Upland cress self seeded in Virginia and was easily cut in the past years corn field. It was also easy to sow when the corn was laid by. Unfortunately, the climate and soil in this part of middle Georgia just does not suit. I have difficulty getting a stand and the plants that emerge just don't grow as they should. |
