Thyme - Organic Seeds

Start seed indoors 8–10 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Sow seeds on the surface and cover very lightly with soil mix. Optimum soil temperature for germination is 65–70°F. Transplant outdoors after your average last frost date. Thyme grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it prefers drier conditions and should not be kept overly wet. Harvest stems as needed once plants are well established. For best flavor, harvest just before flowering and trim regularly to encourage bushy growth.
