I would think it too late to sow this year, but wondered if anyone has grown fenugreek and how easy it is?

I've sown it a few time earlier in the year as green manure.  I think that should give you a good idea of how hard it is to grow  :D

I would imaging there's plenty of time left this year.

Are you wanting to use the leaf or seeds? I have grown it for green manure and it does flower but I have never left it long enough to know whether it sets seeds in the UK. The smell of the seeds in the packet is wonderful.

I want to use the leaves really, as an ingredient in curries etc.

Fresh ones can be used in a similar way to coriander or spinach in many dishes (obviously not the same taste  ;) )
