Now that you have everything you need, it's time to get started!

Start by planting your seeds or starter plants in the potting soil or expandable soil discs on a growing pot, then water them well.

Watering:

Do not water the seeds or the seedlings too much, as this can drown them. Keep an eye on the soil to make sure it doesn't dry out.

Light:

Place your pot in a sunny spot they will need at least 6 hours of sun light per day. When the seedlings are big enough, transplant them into a planter with the growing pots so they don't suffer from transplant shock.

Sprouting time:

The Herb seeds will sprout after 2 - 4 weeks

Transplanting time:

Its time to transplant into the planter when the seedling have at least 2-3 sets of leaves and are big enough to handle without breaking. Gently remove the seedlings from the soil, being careful not to damage the roots, and plant them into the larger pots. Fill in around the seedlings with potting soil, then water them well. Be sure to keep an eye on the soil moisture levels, water and fertilize them as needed.

How much space between seedlings:

the distance you need to plant each herb seedling is 3-4 inches. Planting it at this distance will give the roots enough room to grow and the plant will have enough space to reach its full size.

Transplant outdoors:

If you want to transplant your herbs outside make sure to harden them off first. To do this, place them outside in a shady spot for a few hours the first day, then gradually increase the amount of time they spend outside and the amount of sunlight they receive each day over the course of a week or two. This will help them adjust to the outdoors and prevent them from getting sunburned or suffering from transplant shock.

Led Lamp:

If you do not have 6 to 8 hours of sun minimum your plants are not getting enough light you can make a simple reflector out of aluminum foil to help reflect light back onto the plants or buy a full spectrum growing light.

Harvesting:

You can start harvesting your herbs once they reach 6-8 inches in height. Cut off the leaves, being careful not to damage theuminium Foil Reflector: If your plants are not getting enough light you can make a simple reflector out of aluminum foil to help reflect light back onto the plants.

Make a All year round herb garden :

To have an all year round herb garden you will need to plant seeds every few months so you always have a supply of fresh herbs. You can also dry or freeze your herbs to use later.

To have your own seeds you will need to wait for the plant to flower, then let the flowers go to seed. Once the seeds are ripe, harvest them and store them in a cool, dry place until you're ready to plant them.
