Hey,
I'll being with a picture as to how far along my herbs are...

From left to right:
Sage, Thyme, Dill, Basil and Rosemary
I believe that I am now getting to a stage where I need to thin the herbs down (particularly the Dill). I was wondering what does thinning down actually mean doing? Should I simply seperate the Dill in half, or quarters and plant into separate pots (breaking the soil up and creating more space between the plants) etc?
Also, is the Thyme also at a point that it needs thinning?
N.B. I have only bought the Rosemary today so hoping it will be a speedy grower!
Thanks for your replies and help!
Sam
Hey,
So I have been pricking out my shoots today and putting them into a propagator. Looks pretty good and pretty pleased with the results! I thought that I would experiment with pricking out some of the Dill seen as there is so much of it - no real loss if a few of them die through this process!
Thought that I would upload the photos so you can see their progress
1) The full tray

2) Sweet Basil

5) Sage

I'll break some of the Thyme and Dill down into more pots too and hopefully they will flourish with a bit more space!
Cheers for the advice - any more tips are very appreciated (these are the first things I have grown before).
Regards,
Sam
P.S. Sorry for the flood of photos!
