Nigella sativa
FLOWER-NIGELLA-LOVE IN A MIST With its intricate flowers and fine-textured foliage, Nigella stands out in the garden. This delightful little annual blooms throughout the summer, & the seed pods are often used in dried-flower crafts. Nigella does best in full sun and well-drained soil. Self-sows freely, but not aggressively.
Sow seeds directly into a finely textured, well-drained garden bed as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Space seeds 5cm apart in rows 15cm apart and cover 1cm deep OR scatter thinly in a garden bed & cover 1cm deep. Weed young seedlings carefully & thin before they get too crowded. Difficult to transplant.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
