When to Start Herb Seeds
Frost tender types of herbs can be started indoors six to eight weeks prior to the last frost date. Once your herb seeds have sprouted, water regularly and thin as needed. Before transplanting seedlings into the garden or outdoor containers, be sure to harden off the young plants.
What month do you plant herbs?
Early spring is the best time to plant outdoors, but you can put the herbs in the ground any time of year that it's not frozen.
How long does it take to grow herbs from seeds?
Patience is essential when growing herbs! It is not unusual for seed to take two to four weeks to germinate, although some herbs are much faster. For most herbs, a germination temperature of 70°F is optimal. If you keep your thermostat lower, you should invest in a heat mat to start your seeds.
