What’s a gardener to do with soil that’s easily compacted and has poor drainage? Find out here
Full StoryI'd like to grow some fenugreek in my garden next year. I have some curry recipes that call for the leaves rather than the seeds, so I thought this would be a way to get a good supply of leaves.
I've got the seeds, but all I can find about their cultivation is that fenugreek is an annual legume. Not sure what to do next, so I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick tutorial.
Just the basics like should I start them indoors and transplant them or direct sow? About what time of year should I plant them out? Are they frost-tolerant like parsley or cilantro or are they more like basil and I should wait until the weather is warm to plant them out?
Thanks for any help. I've also got cumin, by the way, but I assume since it's in the parsley family I can treat it the same way as parsley/dill/cilantro. It's the fenugreek that seems a real mystery.
