✧ Growing Tips ✧
🌱 Starting Seeds
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Use well-draining soil and provide plenty of light.
🌿 Transplanting
Harden off seedlings gradually over a week before transplanting outdoors after danger of frost has passed.
☀️ Sun Requirements
Most herbs need 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily. Some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade.
💧 Watering
Water deeply but infrequently. Most herbs prefer well-draining soil and don't like wet feet.
