Growing Thyme From Seed

[gardengirl55]

Hey am trying to grow Thyme from seeds, and, not having much luck. After 2 weeks, still, no sprouting.  Has anyone had any luck with growing Thyme from seed in the AG?  Any advise is much appreciated!!!

yes no issues.. try mutliple seeds in the pod.. at least 3. If the seeds are not packed for this year (says it on the packet) you may want to get new ones..

Thyme is usually easy to grow in an AG. Are you using AG pods? If so, what is the sprouting time given on the pod? I've had them sprout as much as a week or two after the time given, but I'd probably be thinking about giving up on the pods after 2 weeks.

AG will replace your pods if they're not too old. Write them and tell them how many pods you purchased that didn't germinate.

Thanks for the advise. No, I'm not using an AG pod. I bought some seed on Amazon and I'm trying to see if they will grow. I had an AG pod a while back, but, it only had one shoot come out that did not live for long, so, I trashed it. (before knowing that AG would replace it :( )

I have purchased from Amazon and ebay and for me found that many do not germinate.  Their are vendors who do but the ones I got no.  I now buy from places like Burpee, Parks, Johnnys, etc

Be sure to check our Seed Vendors

My first round of thyme only had about 50% germination. I got replacements from AeroGarden and they are all sprouting strong now. This is a month and a half since starting.

Gorgeous thyme, bigshot!
