Fenugreek Methi Seeds (Multicut)

Fenugreek, or methi, is a kitchen staple in most Indian households — the leaves go into sabzi and parathas, and a fast-growing patch on a balcony means you're rarely short of a handful. It's also one of the more forgiving herbs for someone still learning how their containers dry out, since it isn't fussy about perfect soil. Seeds sit about 1 cm deep and come up in 4-7 days with the soil kept lightly moist and 4-6 hours of sun daily. Space plants 8-10 cm apart — methi grows in a dense little clump, so it doesn't need much room per plant, which makes it a good filler crop for a shallow tray. Because it's grown mainly for leaves rather than seed pods, you can start cutting from around 25-35 days, and keeping the watering regular helps new growth keep coming.
