When to Plant: In North and Central Florida it’s best to plant herbs is in the early spring and in the early fall, these are the months of March and August. In South Florida, you have an extended planting season of October through February.
Planting instructions: Most herbs prefer to be in a spot with full sun and well-draining soil. Each plant has slightly different spacing guidelines but a general rule of thumb is about 1 foot of space per plant. You can sow directly in the garden or transplant seedlings. Plant seeds about ¼” deep and water regularly.
Germination time: 14-21 Days. This varies based on the plant.
Number of seeds per pack: Minimum 30 seeds

United StatesHerb experiment
This is my first time attempting a herb garden. The area I have it planted is about 6 hours of Daily Sun. If successful it's close enough to my back door that I can enjoy the Aromas. Most have germinated, some take longer than others. So far so good.

Hi Josh, I haven’t been able to get my seeds planted until this week. I use large pot's for my green veggies this month, I added veggies scraps, egg shells & coffee grounds to my bought soil. A few volunteer tomato plans are about 12 “ high. Soon as something comes up from your seeds I’ll send you a picture. Planted leaf lettuce, cabbage, kale. Going to plant a few herbs tomorrow on Saturday. I’m so excited to do a little gardening again, it’s been many years. I really thank you for helping us here in North Port, Florida, how to garden, I had no idea before. I only garden a bit in Ohio & Georgia. Thresa Beasley Sat. Sept. 2, 2023
