| If so, pls share your experience.
When--how did it germinate - thinly or thickly? How did it do once you transplanted into the ground? I'm giving a workshop this week-end on WS'ing to some herb-growers. This will be exciting. thanks,

| I sowed some on March 1 of this year, it has germinated and with a very high success rate. They are still mere tiny seedlings, so I have not transplanted. Also, they germinated by the end of March, but we did have several stretches of very warm weather during March. Lisa/NC |

| I sowed around middle of March. Sprinkled on top of potting mix in a 9 cell tray which was covered with a humidity dome. I also sowed parsley and sage at the same time. We then had below freezing temperatures for an extended time shortly after that. I was surprised to see lots and lots of thyme seedlings had sprouted about a week ago and are doing well so far. They are very tiny, but doing well. BTW, neither the parsley nor the sage has sprouted under these same conditions. |

| thanks, I'll sow some thyme tomorrow. Sage I sowed early March and I just have 2 sprouts. we're supposed to finally get up in the 60's-70's next week, so hopefully things will take off. |

| I have some thyme now sprouted from a trade. Last year I grew mother of thyme. It has been my best seedlings so far! They grow wonderful and thick. This years is growing also I just don't know the type. The mother of thyme is a creeping style. It grew quite well for me. In fast almost too well :) I love thyme, very hardy for me. Karen |

| I sowed some at the end of March, and it hadn't spouted 2 days ago. I sure hope it does. I spent $0.80 for that expensive pack of seeds! *lol* |
