{"product_id":"presto-cress","title":"Presto Cress","description":"\u003cp\u003eFast-sprouting peppery greens for windowsill sprouting or planting directly in the garden. This variety has been selected and saved on-farm by Tobacco Road Farm for over a decade since it is no longer commercially available (until now!) and it so important to their salad mixes. Over these years, they have adapted this variety to their Northeastern Connecticut year-round farm ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitial photo by Amanda Kopplin of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/family4futuremn\/\"\u003e@family4futuremn\u003c\/a\u003e, showing Presto Cress grown from their saved seed!

Harvest the aboveground portion of the plant when mostly or entirely dry and allow it to dry further in a well ventilated, dry place. Turn the plants upside down and wack them in a bucket to allow the seeds to drop. Sift out the large plant pieces and use the wind or a fan to carefully winnow off the lightweight chaff.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobacco Road Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33320869298311,"sku":"BRA-009","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/files\/image0_1_f5948b19-12de-482a-ab55-0c5d1e1563c0.jpg?v=1724441428","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/presto-cress","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
