Propagating by seed
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
Sow fenugreek seed from late Spring to late Summer, direct into cultivated soil so that the seeds are about 2 inches (5 cm) apart and one-half inch (1 cm) deep. Sow in a sunny site in free-draining, preferably slightly acidic soil. Space rows at least 6 inches (15 cm) apart
Planting
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
Fenugreek does not transplant well, and therefore sowing direct in situ is the way to go.
