How to sow winter thyme successfully under cover?
In spring, sow your winter thyme in a tray or pots with drainage holes and fine, free-draining seed compost. Moisten the compost, scatter the tiny seeds thinly on the surface and press gently without burying them. Keep the sowing in a bright place at about 15 to 20 °C.
Keep the compost slightly moist without soaking it. Once seedlings have several leaves, move them into individual pots. Wait until they are well rooted, then gradually harden them off before planting in sun, about 20 to 30 cm apart. Young seedlings are not yet drought tolerant.

Weed
If weeds compete with your young plant, hand-pull them without disturbing its roots. If you use mulch, choose a thin mineral layer to keep low shoots off wet soil and leave the crown clear. Avoid thick, damp organic mulch against the base; this is not a feeding step.
