Starting Herbs from Seeds
Many herbs are slow growing and/or don’t get very big and can be started early in the year. Yesterday I got 10 different herbs started. Some of the herbs I’ve grown before and others are new or have never tried growing from seed. I grouped them by days it takes to germinate and sowed several seeds in each cell/container. 10-21 day group: oregano, cumin, marjorum, 7-15 day group: lemon mint, valerian, lemongrass, Light required to germinate: chamomile, lemon balm, Rosemary takes 14-21 days and lavender takes 18-28 days so they went in their own containers since the germination time is so long. I’ll do another update in about a month to show you the progress.

I’m just beginning an herb garden and this was by far the best simple video! Thx
I’m just gettin ginto gardening! thanks
hi. what if i dont have a grow light? will that affect the germination of the seeds?
This is a good helpful video, thanks.
im doing Anise hyssop from seed indoors, hoping the chamomile I seeded outside does the same thing as last year. I have Tons of lemon-balm.
Why are your plants shaking under your lights? Is air blowing on them? Just curious
Don’t LAVENDER seeds have to spend weeks in the fridge before sowing them?
thanks for info, wow alot of elements involved. Ive just germinated skullcap using garden soil and garbage bag inside treatment, they are now in the " nursery" and having sunlight every day and powering, thank god, a first for me, but its good to learn about other tips that I can utilise.
Great seed starting video! Thanks for sharing! I am planning on planting lavender around my house do you think it is necessary to start them and then transplant of do you think i can put the seed right where i want the plant to be?
Hi Paula! Started following your IG thanks to CaliKim! I noticed that you used EB Stone seed starter. I used Jiffy seed starter late winter, ran out then bought EB Stone mid-Spring. I found that I liked Jiffy much better. I got better germination. What was your experience? Thanks in advance!
👍👍👍👍👍
Where can get rue seeds?
Thanks!
You do realize that the vast majority of culinary & medicinal herbs we use hail orifginally rom the Mediterranean region of the planet and are therefore mostly woody perrenials. If you winter them over in that little greenhouse area you have there, you won’t have to resow them each year and they will be ready to go out at least a month earlier and they will be far more productive for you. Depending on where you are located, you may not have to bring them in at all. They are tough little critters. Just sayin’.
do I plant thyme as one seed per pot, like a tomato plant, or do I scatter them like growing cress?
thank you! Very informative and simple
Wow, great video. The cost of buying "ready to plant" flowers and veggies is getting ridiculous. I will be starting my own from seed from now on. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes Bob.
Nice job ‘m sure they will germinate just fine.
Thanks!
Wtf is germination
Thanks! This is really useful for my first time starting herbs!
I want to germinate chamomile, but I don’t have a grow light. Would it work if I leave it out in the sun with a clear bag on top?
Hi where did u buy your seeds from?
It have been a months since my lemon balm germinated, but they aren’t getting any bigger. No new leaves. Any ideas ?
What if you don’t have a heating Matt or a light lamp? It’s about to be summer can I just grow some outside and maybe some inside?
H herb
Is a lemon balm entire bush the result of a single seed or overseeding?
