yeah
hello everybody
in today's episode we're going to see how to grow a whole which is called
fenugreek now final break may not be a very popular herb but it definitely
packs a punch
it's got medicine values nutritional value you can stir fry it
you can add it in your salads you can pretty much have it the way you like
there are a lot of ways to grow fenugreek you can either grow it in the
soil or directly sow the seeds in the ground or you can grow them and aluminum
trays the baking trays filled with dirt
the hardly need any space to grow
you can grow them in containers of pretty much any size that you like to
you can use pretty much any size container you like this one is about 12
inches in diameter
now for the seeds you can buy these at most grocery stores
especially the indian grocery stores do sell these fenugreek seeds
yeah
so the idea here is to fill of the container with soil but leave just a
little bit space on the top so that you can sow the seeds and then cover it up
with soil later
yeah
so now we're ready to sow our seeds
so now that the container is ready we just take the seeds and then we
sprinkled them very evenly throughout the surface and it doesn't have to be
perfect it's just a random
and don't wait too much about the space and given if they are spaced very close
they will still grow very well
now that we've sown our seeds all we need to do is cover the container with
some soil some nice oil and just make sure you cover all the seeds because you
don't want boards taking those seeds away from your container so after the
seeds are set then
now all we need to do is just moisten the soil a little bit so just take some
water make the soil nice and evenly moist the moisture will allow the seeds
to germinate remember that the soil that you use in your container has to be fast
training as you can see here it's just takes a few seconds for all this water
to drain down which is what it should be like
so all I do now is set my container down where the replication will keep it nice
and moist
so now comes the best part after about three to four weeks
the fan agree greens are ready to harvest
so all we do is just pull them out by the roots it's a very simple
now some people like to wait till the family grows a little bit longer
it's kind of up to you within three to four weeks you can have some nice
tasting fenugreek
the longer you let it grow the flavor in my opinion goes down a little bit
so this is about the right size that you should harvest your fenugreek greens and
you can also have a lot more nutritional value if you harvest them earlier
because I've seen that the leaves they decreed you know they'll start appearing
yellow or the start getting diseases after growing for more than four weeks
so there are some more greens left to be harvested so let's keep doing that let's
get all these greens out and a container of the site should give you enough
greens for some dishes that required a large amount of fenugreek
so while we are harvesting the remaining fenugreek greens
I'm gonna give you a quick recipe takes a fan of Greek greens wash them nicely
and boil them with some lentils and onions
that's going to give you some nice delicious
fenugreek soup
so I hope you enjoyed watching this video and if you did not know what for
new Greek is a good time to try growing in your garden
I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised how good this herb is
