I simply love methi leaves, but have always found it diff to find in sing. Once when I did find them, I tried freezing a handful of the picked washed and towel dried leaves. It was definately not as good as fresh but was a lot better than the Ashoka packet. :)
Hope this helps.
Eagerly waiting for fellow hubbers to asn ur gardening Q on methi leaves. Would like to give it a try though not very interested in gardening. :wink:
Thanks for the info,tomato... Will try Ashoka methi & let let u know...:)
Hi Dev,
It is not very hard to grow methi leaves at home. Problem is they don't give you as big leaves as you get in the store.
Fill a planter with soil and take a spoonful of methi seeds (more for a larger planter) spread them nicely with hand. See to it that all seeds are covered with soil. Water the planter once every day until the seeds germinate. Then probably you can water checking the soil wetness as often as needed.
These methi plants need good temperature but they don't like too much of hot sun exposure. So, try to keep them in shade if possible. I used to grow very fragrant methi when I lived in Houston where weather is hot. Now, no chance of anything of that sort.
Hope it helps you.
CI.
Dev,
You can also sprout the methi seeds and put in the pot and this will help the plant to come out quickly.
Thanks CI & R,for those useful tips... Will try it out soon... :)
hello R & mysorehudugi,
that's interesting.....growing methi in pots.the thing is all i have is a deck so i wonder if this can work out in my case.i am fond of methi too but it's not readily available here.:(
cud u please tell me wat kind of soil needs to be used for the seeds and do i need to use fertilisers like tea leaves?
i have an unused med sized plastic pot.wud that be sufficient for growing some 20-25 seeds.
one more thing,u said too much sun is not good.does that mean the plant is to removed inside the house after keeping them in sunlight or is it sufficient to be moved to a shadier spot.
lot of questions here,i know.hope it's not a bother for u to address them.
thanks in advance,
regards,
rain
