Starting tiny seeds, like creeping thyme

[greenthumbomaha]

I start small herb seeds in a shallow cake fashion, similar to keith's method. A strawberry or lettuce clamshell is an example of a good initial germination container. It is easy to scoop out a chunk from a shallow tray, and transplant when the seedlings get stronger. I overseed by a large factor to compensate for any seedling damage at the margins of the cake.

Its early, but I was just making a mental note to start saving lettuce clamshells for parsley and celery seeds.
