For zones 5-12 thyme is a staple in your Organic herb garden and sandy soil and prefer full sun. We recommend starting thyme in pots 5-6 weeks before your last frost in the spring. Use moist soil and place them 1/4 inches deep covered with vermiculite or sand as they need light to germinate. 70-80 degrees When seedlings develop their first set of true leaves and are at least 4 inches tall, transplant to the garden about 10 inches apart. After seedlings are established thyme thrives in dry soil and responds favorably as a container plant. Containers dry out quickly, be sure to water often and place container in a shady area in extreme heat.
