HERB GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Start plants indoors in individual 3" diameter pots. Barely cover seeds with soil and do not water from above, as this will disturb the small herb seeds. We recommend using a heat propagation mat or heating cables, as herb seeds need a warm growing medium to germinate. Use an artificial light source (fluorescent light) to get transplants off to a healthy start. Sow seeds six weeks before last spring frost. About 10 days before last spring frost, start hardening off the plants gradually outside. A week after last spring frost, transplant plants outdoors or transplant into permanent , larger pots.
