🗓️ When to Sow

• Indoors: Start 6–8 weeks before your last frost.

• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, once soil warms to 15–20°C (59–68°F).

• Prefers warm, sunny conditions and germinates best in mild spring weather.

🌱 How to Sow Indoors (Recommended for Early Start)

1. Prepare Containers

   • Use seed trays or pots with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix.

2. Sow the Seeds

   • Surface sow: Scatter seeds on top of the moist soil.

   • Do not cover with soil — savory seeds need light to germinate.

   • Gently press seeds in to ensure contact with the soil.

3. Watering

   • Mist the surface lightly to keep moist.

   • Use a humidity dome or plastic wrap until germination starts.

4. Light & Temperature

   • Keep in a warm, bright location (65–70°F / 18–21°C).

   • Provide 12–14 hours of light daily.

   • Germination time: 10–15 days.

🌿 After Germination

• Remove cover once seedlings appear.

• Thin or transplant when seedlings have 2–3 true leaves.

• Harden off for 7–10 days before planting outdoors.

🌞 Outdoor Transplanting / Direct Sowing

• Full sun is essential.

• Spacing: Thin or transplant to 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart.

• Soil should be well-drained and slightly sandy; avoid overly rich soil to maintain compact growth and strong flavor.

🌼 Growing Tips

• Water: Moderate — allow soil to dry slightly between waterings; avoid waterlogging.

• Feeding: Not usually necessary; too much fertilizer can reduce flavor.

• Harvesting: Begin once plants are 4–6 inches tall. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth.

• Blooming: Tiny white to lilac flowers appear mid to late summer; pinch off to extend leaf production if not saving seed.
