Hi there Waddy, welcome to our forum!!

When I was a kid cress had white stems and roots but there are so many 'micro greens' varieties nowadays that you could be growing one of those. It's too much of a coincidence that the 'cress' is growing in two perfect rows where you sowed the seeds. Weeds grow where they please!!
