You do not want to move them to pots until they have true leaves on them. Curmudgeoness Feb 2012 #5

Chives are quite resillient. Ruby Reason Feb 2012 #11

my chives didn't sprout :cry: NMDemDist2 Feb 2012 #12

Keep trying, getting started is the hardest part. Soon you'll have lots of herbs. Ruby Reason Feb 2012 #14

In my limited experience, you need to at least wait until you have four leaves. JDPriestly Feb 2012 #6

well, that's what i have right now NMDemDist2 Feb 2012 #8

I would be interested in hearing how it goes for you. JDPriestly Feb 2012 #9

believe me, you'll hear all about it NMDemDist2 Feb 2012 #10

When the basil is 2" tall, put it in a peat pot. Thyme doesn't get tall... HopeHoops Feb 2012 #13
