About
Fenugreeklove is a diary of my backyard veggie growing experiments. I live in Sammamish, WA where we have very short growing season. I moved into house with yard just this year (2009) and it’s my first year gardening. Mainly I am venturing into growing Indian vegetables, which are hard to come by here in Northwest.
Fenugreek greens are easy and fast growers, ready to be cooked in just 25 days. These are most successful harvests yet and so name of my blog.
Thank you for visiting.

Hi there!
I am an avaid gardner who lives in Issaquah and am having a baby around April 16th this year. My in laws will be here from India around the time I start my garden!
I wanted to plant some Indian veggies this year if I could, I’m happy to see that the Methi seeds from the store work to grow Methi and I will do this for sure.
Have you tried to grow Lauki? I was hoping it would be easy enough to grow since zuccini grows like mad in my garden. I’m having trouble finding info on growing it around here. Have you tried or do you know much about it?
I was thinking it would be a lot of fun to grow some Indian veggies with my Mother in law while she is here.
Good luck this year in your garden!
Hi Sophia, Congratulations!! Welcoming baby into the family is special time and I am sure you are all busy getting ready of that. Meanwhile I appreciate that you are thinking of your MIL and how gardening would delight her. I hear that spring season will be mild this year (El Nino), you can get light gardening started before baby arrives
I have been growing methi from seeds bought in Mayuri, and it works wonderfully. I have not grown Lauki yet, maybe I’ll give it a try this year. I am planning to get seeds from seedsofindia.com or evergreen for lauki. Do you know any local supplier/company/person who would have lauki seeds? I hate to spend on shipping just for 1 packet.
Good luck with new endeavors!!

Nice to know that you are in WA. I had been to Bellevue, WA twice in 2008. It was a nice place to be. I didn’t garden there though, since I was in a hotel near Factoria.
I really envy the variety of seeds that are available in US of A. If Indian customs dept goes easy on seeds, I would ship many beautiful varieties.
Happy gardening!.
