8 Herbs You Can Still Plant in December
1: Rosemary
Abandon the seeds. They test the virtue of patient people. Acquire a starter plant. Furthermore, grant it full sun and soil that drains better than a typical sieve.
Insist on 18 to 36 inches of distance from any lesser plants. The herb will require this space, becoming a substantial, evergreen, and fragrant shrub.
2: Thyme
Thyme mandates full sun but maintains exceptionally low standards regarding its soil. It happily accepts well-drained, stony, or poor dirt. Feel free to utilize the leftover gravel.
Also, water sparingly. This rustic herb thrives solely on independence and sunbeams and flowers violet-ly. In Zones 8-10, thyme actually grows better in winter and spring. The summer heat slows it down!
Quick tip: I always grow thyme in the driest corner of the garden, the spot every other plant hates. Somehow that’s where thyme decides to thrive.
3: Parsley
The seeds will not be rushed. Anticipate a minimum 20-day delay. Submit to their schedule by soaking them overnight for a minor advantage.
Sow the Parsley directly, as it suffers separation anxiety when handled by commoners. Its rich soil requires moisture. Do not look directly at the soil. It sprouts best in “pleasantly cool” soil, anything above about 50°F wakes the seeds up quickly. Which makes December pretty much perfect in warmer zones.
