Sow the seeds into cells or pots containing good quality seed compost. Sow on the surface and do not cover, as light aids germination of seeds.Water from the base of the tray. Place in a propagator or warm place, ideally at 70°F. Keep the compost moist but not wet at all times. Germination takes 5 to 10 days.

Prick out each seedling once it has its first set of “true” leaves, transplant into 3in pots or trays to grow on. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed. Transplant to full sun and light soil; if the soil is rich, the stems get floppy. Plant 12 to 24" apart.

Seeds need to be kept refrigerated! Seeds are dry cold stratified upon arrival.

Moist cold stratification (or fall planting) greatly enhances germination success. Place in a baggie, in moist, but not water saturated vermiculite, put in fridge for 2 months prior to planting.

Soak parsley seeds in warm water for one day before they are planted for best results. Sow them no more than 1/4 inch to deep in soil or potting medium. Seeds are typically sown indoors about six to eight weeks before they are moved outside. They take 10 to 25 days to germinate.

Sunlight: Full sun part shade. Prefers part shade during hot summer weather. Soil conditions: Requires well-drained soil. Prefers moist, fertile soil with high organic matter and pH 6.0 to 6.7 How to plant: Propagate by seed. Germination temperature: 55 F to 75 F. Days to emergence: 2 to 7 - In early spring when soils are cold (~45 F), germination may take two weeks. Seed can be saved 5 years.

Plant in early spring as soon as you can work the soil. Broadcast seed and cover very lightly with soil or compost. A small patch (1- to 2-feet square) provides plenty of cress. Make succession plantings every 2 to 3 weeks until weather warms. Start planting fall crops when weather cools in late summer.

Garden (or common) thyme is a generally upright, woody-based perennial which is primarily grown as a culinary herb in herb gardens. Numerous, somewhat woody stems grow upward to form a foliage mound 6-12" tall. Stems are clothed with tiny, linear to elliptic, pointed, gray-green leaves which are distinctively revolute (leaf margins are rolled under).

Common Name: English thyme || Type: Herbaceous perennial || Family: Lamiaceae || Native Range: Southern Europe Zone: 5 to 9 Height: 0.50 to 1.00 feet || Spread: 0.50 to 1.00 feet || Bloom Time: May to July || Bloom Description: Pale purple || Sun: Full sun || Water: Dry to medium || Maintenance: Low || Suggested Use: Annual, Herb || Flower: Showy || Leaf: Fragrant, Evergreen || Attracts: Butterflies || Other: Winter Interest || Tolerate: Deer, Drought, Dry Soil, Shallow-Rocky Soil, Air Pollution

Germination: Refrigerate the seeds for 4-6 weeks before planting. Barely cover seeds in soil that drains well, and keep them at a temperature of 60-64 degrees. Keep the soil moist with a spray bottle to prevent over watering, and shield them from direct sun.

This slow growing starter will reach a suitable size for transplanting in about 6 months; transplanting can take place either in late spring or fall. Once established, lavender plants prefer full sun and soil that drains well, even rocky or sandy soil. Plant them 2-3ft apart in rows 2-3ft apart to allow enough space for growth.

An evergreen with lightly haired foliage, this tiny-growing creeping thyme varietal — rarely over 3 inches — will appear in low, dense mats, which sprawl randomly and quickly fill in areas as a ground cover. T. serpyllum is another creeping thyme variety. Germination: Scatter the Creeping Thyme ground cover seeds and press the seeds firmly into the soil. Keep the seeds consistently moist.

If you want to get a jump start on the Creeping Thymeground cover plants, sow the seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant the young seedling into the garden 6 - 12 inches apart. Plant creeping thyme about 12" apart to allow for its spreading habitat.
