Scatter seeds on top of soil.
Cover lightly with vermiculite, soil or growing medium.
Seeds will take between 14-28 to germinate at temperatures over 21 degrees.
Thyme loves poor soil, so it's great to throw at pots you already have with other things growing, or places you'd like some natural weed suppression since it will spread.
Thyme will need approximately 6+ hours of light exposure once they have germinated.
Thyme prefers sandy & dry soil conditions.
They don’t like their roots soggy or bogged down by heavy soil.
Thyme is not a heavy feeder.
Utilize only a moderate to low amount of fish emulsion or liquid kelp now and again and it’s set to go.
Scatter seeds and lightly cover.
Thyme will eventually creep to fill the pot.
Make sure you have free draining soil.
Thyme loves areas with full sun and if you can follow the sun with containers or place somewhere that gets good light year round, you will also get thyme thriving year round.
Make sure soil is free draining.
Since thyme thrives in poor soil, it's great for areas or pots which have already grown other things that maybe you'd like to turn into a herb garden or pollinator area (since bees and insect love flowering thyme and it's extremely beneficial for them).
Pick leaves from the plant as required and add to meals, salads, oils or natural remedies.
