Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Fenugreek grows best in very well-drained loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. It does best in full sun to light afternoon shade, especially in hot climates. Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy to avoid root rot. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
When to Grow
Start indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost and transplant outdoors after the last frost or direct sow after all chance of frost has passed and soil has reliably warmed to 60 F. In cooler climates, you can also sow seeds outdoors once the soil has warmed​.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sow fenugreek seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them about 2-3 inches apart. Thin seedlings to about 4-6 inches apart once they reach 2 inches tall. Presoak seed for 24 hours or scarify for faster germination.
How to Grow
Fenugreek is an easy-to-grow plant that requires 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly, ensuring that the top 1-2 inches of soil remain moist, but avoid waterlogging. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can help prevent wilting. Fenugreek can grow up to 2 feet tall, and leaves can be harvested as a "cut-and-come-again" crop​.
How to Save
Collect dried seed pods and dry them for 7 days out of direct sunlight in a warm, dry area. Pick seeds from pods or thresh to free seeds. Seeds can be separated from the chaff by winnowing.
FAQ
Can fenugreek be grown indoors?

When can I harvest fenugreek?
Leaves can be harvested within 30-45 days, and seeds take about 2-3 months to mature.
Is fenugreek bee-friendly?
Yes, it’s safe for bees, making it a great addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.
