Absolutely non of these seeds germinated. Total waste of money

Sowed these across the lawn in the summer. So far no growth, but then the weather has been hot and quite variable wetness. So I'm hoping it will begin growing in the spring.

These have not grown and spread yet. I have terrible soil quality. Quite possibly the worst on the planet. It’s muddy, rocky, sandy, clay when wet and concrete when dry. A pick ax would work better than a shovel. However, the germination rate was very high and they are still alive even uafter transplanting outside weeks ago into the soil from the pits of the firey hot place. I used two different methods to germinate them. The majority were seeded in an indoor plant tray with a plastic lid that I actually left outside in a part sun, part shade location. I made sure the peat pods remained moist. The other method I used was to put a few seeds into my indoor hydroponic garden under a full spectrum plant light. These seeds germinated faster and grew much faster. They are doing much better than the other plants. Sadly, the little countertop hydroponic garden only grows 6 plants at a time. Anyway, it remains to be seen if these will grown and spread though I’m certain they definitely would for someone with decent soil.

A lot of negative reviews are based on failed germination. I don’t think most people realize how tricky thyme can be to start from seed. The seeds are very, very small (so yes, 1,000 seeds will come in a very small packet). Generally speaking, seeds should be planted as deeply as the seed height. So in this case, just barely covered. Then they need to be kept moist but not overly soaked until they’ve become established plants. When it takes up to 3 weeks for germination, it can be easy to forget to water your dirt patch every single morning (and possibly twice daily, depending on your climate). It only takes a day or two of neglect to kill the fragile seeds once they’ve woken from dormancy. This is why I “sprout” my seeds before planting them. It’s the first time I tried sprouting thyme and I wasn’t sure if it would work, so I tested it with maybe 100 or so seeds and it worked beautifully! On Saturday I soaked some seeds overnight. Then first thing Sunday morning I started rinsing them twice daily just like you would if you were growing sprouts for food. (If you don’t know about sprouting food, I highly recommend googling it! It is such an easy way to always have fresh, nutrient dense lettuce type food to add to sandwiches, salads, pizza, baked potatoes, literally anything!) These seeds need a tighter mesh screen than most so be careful you don’t lose them down the sink drain! I used a stainless sifter that bakers use for powdered sugar and fine flours. In the past I have used nylon netting/screen for “no-seeums” - just cut a piece big enough to cover the mouth of a jar, secure it and you’re good to go! It only took a couple of days for the seeds to crack open and for the tap root to start poking out. It’s important to sow them as soon as they’ve opened. The more time they spend indoors as seedlings, the more vulnerable they’ll be to temperature changes after planting and I do not have the time or patience to harden off seedlings! So as soon as they cracked open, I scattered them outside on some fresh soil and watered deeply. Today is Thursday and I already see little tiny green seedlings all over the dirt patch! And now I am very confident that with proper care, I will have a yard covered in creeping thyme for the price of this little seed packet and some extra care on the front end - which is amazing considering the thousands it would cost me if I tried to do this by buying flats of plants. So please, take some advice from the 5 star reviewers here. These seeds are totally viable! They just require a bit of TLC.I’ll post updates with pics as the plants mature.

Omg so these seeds germinated quickly! I tossed them out back just to see if I could get an easy ground over for an experiment. I THOUGHT I read enough reviews to determine these were creeping thyme but as more different types of plants began sprouting from these seeds in the middle of fall, I realized, through some plant identification apps, that some of these seed MIGHT be creeping thyme but a lot of them are probably just some kind of weed. So weird that have multiple types of seedling from the same pack of seeds. As I noticed this I’ve gone back through the reviews and the ones that are super buried mention this fact. I’m sure this will get buried too, but just in case it helps someone, these are probably definitely just a bunch of weeds.
