I am trying to germinate creeping thyme indoors for the first time and I was shocked when these seeds began to sprout after only 3-4 days! They are still very young, but doing well. I am in zone 9 and placed them in a West facing partially shaded window because I don't have any South facing windows, and they are doing great. I am hoping they will be strong and mature enough to plant outside in the fall.
The creeping thyme seeds have all sprouted and are looking healthy. I can't wait until they're big enough to transplant outside.
