小茴香

Even with my short growing season, I managed to get a decent harvest after just 15 weeks of consistent heat. The plants were surprisingly resilient once established and produced plenty of seeds for my pantry.

I was nervous about the long growing season, but once those 14 weeks of hot weather hit, this cumin really took off. The seed pods are so aromatic when you crush them, and we got way more than I expected from a small patch.

The packet's germination instructions were spot-on, and once the weather warmed up, my plants thrived in the heat. I was surprised how quickly they matured, and the seed harvest was more generous than I'd hoped for.
