Thyme Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, as they are slow to get their motor running.
2. Preparation: Thyme loves full sun and very well-drained, sandy soil. It is a "Hardy Hero" that prefers to stay on the dry side.
3. Sowing: Barely cover the seeds (1/16 inch) as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil surface moist but not soggy.
4. Care: Once established, Thyme requires very little maintenance. Trim it back after it flowers to keep the plant from becoming too woody.
5. Pests and Diseases: Very few pests bother Thyme; its high oil content makes it naturally resistant to most garden trouble.
