Plant seeds, plants, or parts Herbs may be annuals, started from
seed each year, as is basil; biennials, requiring two seasons of
growth, as does parsley; or perennials, which grow back year after
year, like thyme. Generally, you should plant annual and biennial
herbs from seed directly in the garden or in containers indoors (to
transplant), or buy seedlings. (Your students can save seed
produced by their herb plants for next year's crop.) You'll want to
buy or get donations of perennial herb plants or propagate them
from cuttings or divisions. The , below, highlights the best ways
to start different herbs. Starting from seed - If you want to get a
jump on the season, you can start herb seeds indoors under lights
or on sunny windowsills and later transplant them to the garden.
Use the same types of containers and soilless potting mix that you
would use for other indoor seedlings. To encourage healthy
seedlings, keep soil mix uniformly moist until seeds germinate,
keep lights 3 to 6 inches above the plants, and water seedlings
thoroughly when the mix is dry to the touch. Herb seeds tend to be
small, so whether you're starting them indoors or in the garden,
you'll plant them fairly shallowly (see seed packets for planting
depths). Before you move seedlings outdoors, "harden" them off to
get them accustomed to harsher outdoor conditions. Do this by
setting them outside for progressively longer periods each day,
starting with a few hours and increasing to a full day over the
course of a week or so. Starting from plants or plant parts - You
can purchase many herbs from nurseries as young plants, or dig up
shoots or sections of mature perennial plants in the spring. Some
herbs can also be started from stem cuttings. To do this, snip
healthy stems 3 to 6 inches from the growing tip. Remove leaves
from the lower half of the cutting, and plant the cutting in a
soilless mix indoors or in moist sand in a shady outdoor area.
Water it gently and cover the container with a plastic bag until
new top growth appears. Keep cuttings out of direct sun so they
don't overheat in their plastic-bag "greenhouse." How you lay out
your planting will depend on the plants you choose and on your
theme. Herbs, like most plants, stay healthier if there's good air
circulation, so space them to allow for the mature size of each
plant. (Catalogs, seed packets, and nursery containers give spacing
requirements.)
