Choose a location: Black Nightshade plants prefer a sunny location, but they can also grow in partial shade. Make sure the soil is well-draining and fertile.
Prepare the soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of at least 6-8 inches using a garden fork or tiller. Remove any rocks, roots, or debris from the soil. Mix in compost to improve the soil's fertility.
Sow the seeds: Sow the Black Nightshade seeds in shallow furrows, about 1/4 inch deep. Space the seeds about 2-3 inches apart. You can also scatter the seeds thinly over the soil surface and lightly rake them in.
Water the seeds: Water the seeds gently after sowing, and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Black Nightshade seeds usually germinate within 7-14 days.
Harvest the fruits: Black Nightshade produces small, black or dark purple berries that are edible when fully ripe. The berries are typically ready for harvest about 80-90 days after sowing the seeds.
