Sesame Black Plant

Already growing. Just plant it.Skip the seed stage — this one is already growing. Plant it this week, harvest seed pods in about 3 months.

Grow your own black sesame — the nutty one for tahini, bread and sweets.

Loves our heat and needs very little water once established.

Pretty flowers, then pods full of seed.

When to pick: Harvest when the lower pods turn brown and start to split. Cut the whole stalk and dry it upside down in a bag.

Planting steps in detail

You need: Potting Soil Mix and a shovel. A pot 25 cm or bigger, or a sunny spot in the garden.

1. Pot: fill with Potting Soil Mix. Ground: dig, mix a few handfuls in.

2. Hole twice the size of the small pot. Water the small pot an hour before.

3. Squeeze the pot, slide out with the soil ball whole. Never pull the stem, never shake the roots.

4. Plant it at the same depth it was in the small pot. Press, water until it drains.

Late afternoon, never at noon. No feeding for the first 2 weeks.
