Method of cultivation : Edible nettle seeds for sowing

Sowing nettle seeds: Open the bag and pour the seeds into your hand. Mix with sand for easier sowing. Sow directly in your garden in a rather damp spot when the temperature is favorable, sowing the seeds 5 mm apart at 25 cm intervals.

Watering Borage seeds: Ideally, use rainwater or filtered (chlorine-free) water. Prefer light rainfall watering, ideally using a hand-held sprayer, to keep the soil just moist, but not waterlogged, throughout the growing period. Imagine the soil remaining like a wet sponge, then wrung out. Don't let the soil dry out.

Germinating flower seeds: expose to sunlight behind glass, but not over a heater, to encourage rapid and abundant germination. Alternatively, from April onwards, expose to sunlight on your balcony, windowsill or terrace. Borage flower seeds take a few days to germinate, and then grow if well watered.

Transplanting: there's no need to transplant, as the crop is sown/directly planted. If necessary, aerate by removing a few plants if your seedling is too dense. Each borage plant needs 25 cm to develop.

Harvesting: Leaves are harvested in spring or early summer, before the plant flowers, when they are softer and have a milder flavor. Nettle leaves are rich in nutrients such as iron, vitamin C and antioxidants, making them a popular remedy in natural medicine.

Our tip: to avoid unpleasant stings, we recommend wearing thick gloves when harvesting nettle leaves and touching them from the underside. The leaves can be cut with scissors and used immediately, or dried. In cooking, nettle leaves are often used in soups, stews, sauces and herbal teas. Once cooked, nettle leaves lose their stinging ability and offer a delicious, earthy flavor.
In the garden, nettle is a valuable plant for gardeners because of its fertilizing properties. It is often used as a natural fertilizer to enrich the soil and promote the growth of other garden plants.
