I am a happy gal! They flowered and it is a beautiful sight. These dainty little blue flowers poking out from the greens. So far I have scattered Chia plants everywhere in the garden and they truly are worthy of the precious real estate; even if I haven't eaten them yet.
I planted a row of seeds in early spring and it has taken them 3 months to flower. The big surprise was the plants that was in shade grew bigger and greener and stronger. However the plant in full sunlight were the first to flower. Not sure what the difference in seed will be like but if we were planting it just for the seed, I would go straight for direct sunlight.
Do not overwater them. We had a few that had poor drainage and it died. Infact the once we left alone, ie poor soil, hardly watered are looking very strong. It's a shame that it's leaves are not used as a vegetable because they truly are quick growing and easy to grow.
