Hai friends today i am coming with how to grow Methi Leaves in Patio.I love to grow small plants and vegetables in my patio.Due to small patio and my daughter is small i cant grow them.This year my daughter know not to take off the leaves and mud .Now i am very happy to plant the methi leaves.It takes 2 weeks for methi to grow.Ok lets go how to grow methi leaves.
Things we need:
Methi seeds few
Pot mix that required for plant
Pot mixing
Gloves
Water required to pour after planting
Pot or Aluminuim tray (I use Ziploc box)

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this helpful post. This is going to be my first time with gardening.
When do you harvest methi leaves? Also once the leaves are taken out, do we have to sow methi seeds again or will they grow from the severed stalks like cilantro?
Thanks,
Nandini
Hi Nandhini thank u very much.Except winter in any season I used to grow the methi seeds.After it grows well I take out completely and place the seeds again.
DeleteThanks so much for the response, Vineela :) I sowed them yesterday. Hope it comes out alright.
DeleteNandini
Hi Vineela,
ReplyDeleteWhen is the right time to use the methi leaves? It's been 18 days since I sowed the seeds and they are now about 2 to 3 inches in height. Is this the correct time to harvest them? Some say it takes about a month for it to grow fully. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Nandini
Hai Nandini
ReplyDeleteDuring winter we cant grow methi.When temperature is ok we can grow.After sowed seeds for 3 to 4 weeks we get full grown methi.
