Anybody here grows german (english) thyme from seed. I have 9 aeedling, 6 week old, and only 3 of them actually stand up. The others are growing as if they were crawlers... is this normal?

Should I support them with little sticks?? Or let them crawl...

Thyme is sort of supposed to "crawl" or spread. So I'd just let it do what it does naturally.

However, you could always trim off the rangley edges to push more growth in the center so it'll at least be bushier. But still sprawl. Smiler
