Topic: Growing fenugreek (aka Methi)

[cestrian]

We eat a lot of curry and I find it difficult to get hold of fresh methi leaves, that you get in traditional indian cooking, so i planted some seeds in pots in the green house and they have all germinated.

Has anyone else got any experience with this. How big will they grow and do they need to stay in the green house or can they go outside in a raised bed. I also read they produce edible pods, like rat tail radish, which I also love.

Interesting! I sowed a little tray of them myself the other day, for greens for my rabbits. Never grown it before, but as it's a legume I can't imagine it's that hard to grow. I just used seeds from the supermarket sold for cooking, and they've germinated fine.

Why not try an experiment? A pot in the greenhouse and one outside so you can see what works best?

I use Fenugreek as a green manure, using the big bags of methi seeds from the Asian supermarket.
