A close-up photograph of a dense tray of Common Cress (Lepidium sativum) microgreens growing in rich dark soil within a rustic light-wood container. The countless bright emerald-green cotyledon leaves and slender stems form a vibrant canopy, illuminated by natural daylight in a sunlit UK greenhouse with terracotta pots in the softly blurred background.
