Just keep the soil moist with moderate watering and you will be ok. As for watering, garden cress does not need much. Garden Cress likes full sun so pick a spot that receives the most sunlight and if you have an indoor herb garden, make sure you pick a window sill that receives sunlight first thing in the morning.
Follow the instructions that come with the kit to raise or lower your soil's pH level as needed. Test your soil with a home testing kit, available from any garden or home center for just a couple of dollars. Garden cress likes the soil's neutral pH to be as close to neutral (7.0) as possible. Garden Cress seeds will germinate in as soon as 2 days and as far out as 6, so as you can see they grow quickly.
The seeds of garden cress are small, so when you plant them a light covering of dirt is all they will need. So keep that in mind when planting. Garden Cress makes a great companion plant to bush beans, beets, carrots, lettuce and spinach to name a few. But it doesn't have to be this way.
