Sow thyme seed in sterilized growing medium either in shallow rows or scatter on top with little or no covering.After they take root, have been transplanted to 2- 1/4" peat pots and reach a height of 2-3 inches, they may be moved outside to cooler weather.For small gardens, space plants about 9 inches apart, for field production space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.GROWING REQUIREMENTSSOIL"Thyme grows well in a light, well-draining soil, poor to fertile. Thyme will grow in a pH range between 6.5 (neutral) and 8.5 (alkaline) with a preferred pH range between 6.5 and 7.0."SPOTThyme grown outdoors prefers full sun.TEMPERATUREFor best results, start seed indoors at a soil temperature of 70°F (20 C)WATERINGAverage water needs. Water on a regular schedule. Allow soil to go completely dry between watering, then soak thoroughly.
