From Urban Harvest:
“Just barely cover seed with a light soil and keep moist until germination.”
From Seed Savers Exchange:
“Sown outdoors just beneath the surface of the soil when a light frost is still possible. Will self-seed profusely.”
By our calculations*, you should look at sowing Black cumin about 14 days before your last frost date .
When blooms fade, a very ornamental seedpod is formed. Once the seedpod turns brown, simply cut off and allow to completely dry before cracking open and removing the hundreds of small seeds. Store in a cool dry area.
These estimates for how long Black cumin takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.
