Caraway
Carum carvi
Annual or Biennial
Sow seeds 1/8" deep in warm soil. Prefers a sunny, sheltered site in light dry soil. Thin seedlings when 3" high to 6" apart. Dislikes transplanting because of its long taproot. Do not let soil dry out. Avoid over-pruning the first year as this will weaken the plant. Gather leaves when young and use fresh. Pick seed heads in late summer or when seeds are brown. Seeds enhance baked goods, pork and all cabbage dishes. Chopped leaves add flavour to soups and salads.
