Gardener’s Notes: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last spring frost or direct sow seeds outdoors when night temperatures stay above 50F (10C). Space seeds very thinly, press into soil and do not cover. Thin or transplant seedlings to 8 inches apart when they have several sets of leaves. Harvest sprigs of leaves or entire stems as needed. Harvest leaves and flowers before frost to air dry for year round use.
