Germination Directions:
- Sow winter thyme seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in early spring.
- Place seeds on well-draining, fertile soil and lightly cover with soil or fine vermiculite.
- Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, maintaining a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination.
- Seeds should germinate within 14-21 days.
Growing Directions:
- Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Space plants 9-12 inches apart.
- Winter thyme prefers slightly alkaline soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. Add lime or wood ash to the soil if needed.
- Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as thyme is susceptible to root rot.
- Fertilize sparingly, as excessive nutrients can diminish the flavor of the herb.
- Prune the plant regularly to promote bushy growth and prevent legginess.
Harvesting Directions:
- Begin harvesting winter thyme when the plant has reached 6-8 inches in height.
- Harvest leaves and stems in the morning after the dew has dried for the best flavor.
- Snip off the top one-third of the plant, ensuring not to remove more than one-third at a time to prevent stressing the plant.
- The whole plant - leaves, stems, and flowering tops - can be used fresh or dried to flavor various dishes, including soups, stews, roasts, and sauces.
