How to Sow
Caper seeds need to be stratified. Don’t worry, it’s easy! Wrap them in a moist paper towel and leave them in the fridge for six to eight weeks. Sow thinly in small containers. Do not disturb the roots. If you must thin them, cut off weaker plants rather than uprooting them.
How to Harvest
Pick flower buds daily and pickle them in vinegar or preserve them in coarse salt. Alternatively, pick ripe caper berries
