Small terminal bunches of pink flowers will bud out in summer; pinch the new buds away if you want to harvest more of the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBegin the seeds either indoors in late winter or direct sow in spring. To start indoors, sow about 6 to 8 weeks before last scheduled frost. The seeds will germinate in 5 to 10 days.

Dill prefers to be direct sown, and should not be covered with too much (if any) soil at planting time.

English thyme is a mainstay of any self-respecting herb garden, of course, but it's also a useful plant elsewhere in the garden. A pest repellent, it's a natural way to keep the veggies and flowering plants looking good. Low-growing and dense, it fills in empty spots in the border nicely. Compact, it fits on the kitchen windowsill without constant pinching. It even makes a fine decorative (and fragrant) edging for any sunny spot.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThyme is essential in French cooking and has become a mainstay of American cuisine as well. Where would Thanksgiving stuffing be without it? (Not to mention Simon and Garfunkel's hit song \"Scarborough Fair\".) English thyme is the variety most commonly used in cuisine, as the small, gray-green leaves are packed with flavor and easy to harvest by letting the stems dry (after cutting from the plant) for a few days, then simply stripping the leaves. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis plant is a woody perennial (technically a shrub), which will bring you four to five good years of foliage before it should be replaced. (The leaves begin to lose their flavor as the stems grow woodier with age.) If allowed to go to flower, it is a marvelous bee attractant, but if you want to use the foliage in cooking, pinch off the buds as soon as you see them, because the flavor deteriorates when the plant blooms. Thyme is a very pretty flowering plant, however, so we recommend that you also plant a stand of spreading, magnificently flowering Mother of Thyme in the garden to satisfy the bees as well as your own desire for blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExpect this thyme to reach 12 to 18 inches high and about 24 inches wide. The stems are closely packed and short, standing almost straight up. Thyme will wend its way around existing plants in the garden without choking them out, making it a nice choice for filler in a garden that has a few bare areas. And it's evergreen above zone 6, so it makes a nice winter companion in warmer climates to the ornamental cabbages and kales, the snapdragons and pansies.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEarly each spring, cut this plant back to about half its size. This will greatly improve its vigor and branching. Don't simply shear it—you want to remove the topmost portion of each branch but leave growth on every stem. This simple treatment will result in much more dense, attractive, and healthy plants all season long.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThyme can take a while to sow, but it isn't difficult, just a procrastinator. Sow the seeds uncovered in your Bio Dome or seed flats at about 65 to 70 degrees. They should sprout within the month. (Yes, plan ahead.) Once sprouted, they thrive in high light, and may be transplanted into the garden or outdoor container as soon as they have two sets of true leaves. They need full sun, good soil drainage (add gravel or perlite to the soil if this is an issue), and a level of richness to the soil on a par with what you would give a tomato plant. Beyond this, they are famously easy, and it's such a pleasure to have a perennial returning season after season to the herb garden—not to mention a fragrant, attractive herb fighting off the flea beetles and cabbage pests in the vegetable patch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Pkt of 100 seeds","offer_id":42354479562811,"sku":"02015-PK-P1","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pkt of 25000 seeds","offer_id":42354479595579,"sku":"02015-PK-25000","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_02015_1.jpg?v=1753891852"},{"product_id":"garlic-chives-seeds-00545","title":"Garlic Chives Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDays to Maturity: 85\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIf you like chives, you'll have to try garlic chives.

It's 20 to 30 times sweeter than sugar cane, yet is noncaloric and doesn't promote tooth decay.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eStevia is easy to use, too.

Grind the dried leaves and sprinkle them into cereals and other cold dishes as you would sugar. You can even extract the oil.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe plant is a tender perennial (grown as an annual everywhere except zones 10 and 11) that loves consistently moist soil, full sunshine, and excellent soil drainage. Its leaves reach their peak of sweetness just before the plant flowers, and flowering is triggered by the arrival of short days. So, in late summer or fall, when the warm weather suddenly ceases, it's time to cut the plant at the base, hang it upside down in a warm, dry indoor location until it dries out, and then strip those ultra sweet leaves for healthy \"sugar\" all winter long.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eStevia is not the easiest seed to germinate, but if you have a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/collections\/bio-domes\"\u003eBio Dome Seed Starter Kit\u003c\/a\u003e, you're halfway there. Grow lights?—It's a snap. Drop one seed into each pre-drilled hole of the Bio Dome and set the dome under grow lights in a 70 to 75 degree room. Germination takes about 7 to 15 days.

An edible ornamental perennial with beautiful blooms, good branching, and attractive foliage, this herb can be grown among the flowering plants in the sunny, dry garden. But be sure to keep at least a few just for cooking, because these large leaves are packed with flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOne of the most important herbs of Italian, Greek, and Mexican cooking, oregano is at the heart of all the great tomato sauces, vegetable dishes, and countless other culinary triumphs. It is most strongly flavored when dried, not fresh, so you may choose to harvest this plant whole, in midsummer, and dry the foliage. Or you may want to cut the individual leaves as needed, all season long, beginning when the plant is just 6 inches high (less than 2 months from sowing). And those are just the culinary options . . . then there are the ornamental uses of this beauty, in containers as well as the garden. Thank goodness you get 100 seeds per packet.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOregano is a perennial that thrives in full sunshine and well-drained soil on the dry side. Once it's established in your garden, let the soil dry out between watering's, and when you do water, make sure to do it long and deep, to encourage the roots to grow far down into the soil and find their own sources of water. If you live in a rainy climate, mound up the soil before planting your oregano, and make sure the drainage is really sharp. For those of us in thirsty gardens with long summers, a plant that likes its soil dry is a pure blessing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOregano has a useful culinary life of four or five years. So unless you want to grow it as an annual and harvest the entire plant for drying in midsummer (a good option for space-challenged gardens, because you can replace the oregano with fall plants each year), let one or two plants flower and go to seed each year, bringing you many new oregano seedlings the following spring. Thin or transplant them, and you will always have new young plants to replace those that \"age out\" of the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe key to keeping the flavor of the leaves at its peak is to pinch out any flower buds you see forming on the plant immediately (unless you are growing the plant to go to seed). Flowering really reduces the flavor of the foliage, so you don't want your plants to reach that stage at all. The other key is to trim your plants every couple weeks, even if you aren't cutting the stems for use in the kitchen. Being pruned reminds the plant to send up fresh new branches, bursting with rich flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExpect oregano to reach 12 to 18 inches high and wide in the garden, with broad 1½-inch leaves. This plant fills a 10-inch container perfectly. But if you have smaller containers and\/or want to grow it in the kitchen windowsill as part of your culinary herb garden, it is easy to keep oregano smaller. Every few weeks, pinch off the tip of the central stem of the plant. This encourages side-shoots to grow, and also keeps the plant short. You'll find you can grow a very compact oregano with all the flavor and appeal of its full-sized cousins.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eYou will know your oregano is reaching the end of its culinary life when the stems become woody. The plant is also quite attractive at this point, so you have the option to leave it alone and let it be an ornamental, bringing butterflies and bees into the garden with its bright purple blooms, or you can cull it. Either way, this is a perennial that is as lovely as it is useful, and will bring you years of pleasure wherever you grow it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSow seeds in well-drained to dry, neutral to alkaline soil in full sun, or start them indoors in your Bio Dome or seed flats.

It is compact enough for containers, and pollinators flock to it if you let it run its course until fall. Such a great addition to the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eParsley is a biennial, but it goes to flower the second season (ruining the rich bite of its leaves), so grow it as an annual. Dense and well-branched, it's ornamental enough to put in the flowering annual bed as well as the herb garden.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eParsley seeds take a while to get going, so you may want to soak them overnight before sowing. If you're beginning them indoors, be sure to transplant them as soon as they have two sets of true leaves (and the soil is warm), because they have a long root and resent being transplanted once they have begun to leaf out. If you're growing them in a pot for the kitchen window, select a container that is long and narrow rather than wide and shallow, to give the root room to run.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Pkt of 1000 seeds","offer_id":42354675712059,"sku":"05213-PK-P1","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pkt of 10000 seeds","offer_id":43608198971451,"sku":"05213-PK-10000","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_05213_1.jpg?v=1753891854"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/collections\/bulk-herb-seeds.oembed","provider":"Park Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
