Getting ready to plant outside: Harden off the seedlings for 7-10 days prior to transplanting outside. Then transplant out into the garden bed. Add compost at the time of planting to enrich the soil. Planting Location: Plant Thyme in full sun and in fast-draining soils. Thyme does not like wet soils and may rot in soils that hold water. Plant Spacing: 6-8” apart. Light Preference: Sun/Part-shade. In very hot climates thyme will need part-shade to do well. Soil Requirements: Creeping Thyme grows best in light, dry, well-drained soil. Note: Creeping Thyme will become woody and needs to be divided or replaced after 3-4 Years.
