Growing Information
How to Sow
Timing is important as Cumin requires a long, hot growing season. Sow after late frosts are over, or start your plants in containers. Plant your seeds to about 5mm deep and keep them moist.
How to Harvest
Once the pods have ripened and turned brown, cut whole stems, bunch them, and hang them upside down with a paper bag around the tops to catch the seeds.
