🪴 Growing Instructions:
-
Start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct sow once the soil has warmed.
-
Sow seeds lightly on the surface and press gently without covering deeply—thyme seeds need light to germinate.
-
Keep soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs in 14–21 days.
-
Plant in a sunny spot with well-draining soil; thyme dislikes soggy roots.
-
Water sparingly after plants are established. Overwatering can reduce flavor and health.
-
Harvest regularly by snipping sprigs; frequent light harvesting encourages bushier growth.
