Fenugreek
Responds poorly to root disturbance so either direct sow once the soil begins to warm up in late spring, or start indoors in peat pots or other compostable pots that can be transplanted whole. Ideal temperature for germination is 18°C. Sow 5mm (¼”) deep. Transplant at a spacing of 10cm (4″). Keep the soil evenly moist during germination. Once seeds sprout, reduce watering slightly.
Fresh leaves are ready to harvest in 30 to 40 days, once the plants are 25cm (10") tall. Try using fenugreek as a cut-and-come-again crop by cutting back to 10cm (4") above the soil. If growing for seed, allow the plants to mature fully through the flowering and pod stage. The pods will turn yellow and the lower leaves will begin to drop once the seeds are mature.

About Hawthorn Farm
Hawthorn Farm began in 1996 on a kitchen table with a single-page catalogue of organic seeds and a dream.
Today, we offer several hundred organic, open-pollinated vegetable, herb, and flower seed varieties to other farmers and gardeners across Canada.
Many seed companies simply resell imported seed from around the world. On our Canadian farm, we grow, harvest, test, and package seeds using organic practices that enrich soil and protect ecosystems.
Most of our seeds are produced right here, either on our own farm or by our local network of small growers. Varieties unsuited for producing excellent seed in our climate (zone 4 and 5) are carefully sourced from trusted growers in other regions.
Every packet reflects rigorous standards and a deep respect for the land. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Seeds are more than something to sell, they’re a way to connect.
Each summer we open our farm for workshops and tours, sharing the craft of seed saving.
We support schools, nonprofits, and community groups with seeds and knowledge, believing that communities grow stronger by sharing resources.
Good food starts with exceptional seed.
