How do you grow spearment from seeds?

Trying to grow spearment from seeds. Planted them in an outside pot 2-3 wks ago and nothing is happening yet. Do I need to start them inside and then move them outside? Also, what is that about keeping them covered until they germinate? Someone help please, i’m gardening ignorant but determined to have an herb garden this year.

I can find all sorts of information on the web about herbs, but I can’t find anything specific about what place on the plant I should be cutting the leaves off to dry them. The plant is getting overgrown and I need to take some off to dry.

If it makes a difference, here are the herbs I’m growing:
spearmint, oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, dill, and rosemary.

How to care for potted herbs?

My fiance bought me some potted herbs this weekend for my cooking. He bought chives,oregano,cilantro and basil. What is the best way to care for these herbs. I want to keep them in my kitchen. How often to water? How much sunlight? Should I re-pot them and place them outside? Are they better off on my porch or can they grow well in my kitchen?

Many thanks!!!

Caffeine stops you from getting taller or make you shorter?

I’m 5’11 (maybe even 5’10). I am 17 years old and I run 5 miles everyday. I weight 137lbs.
I’ve been on diet (1500-18000 calories a day) and taking some pills that will lose me some man boobs. The pill is called gynexin and they are claimed to made of only natural herbs, green tea extract, etc…They have caffeine in it too.
Will I be able to grow maybe another 1-2 inches?

Will a grow light help my perennials?

I moved recently and some of my patio conatiners have perennials that need more light that they will get naturally. Will putting a grow light on them help or are they doomed to grow leggy and die? Mostly viola/violet, and astilbe and some herbs. Any suggestions on buying a grow light, strength etc?

Washington State laws re: salvia, shrooms, psychedellics etc.?

I was thinking about growing my own salvia divinorum, as I’m a supporter of the use of natural supplements. But i can’t find reliable sources listing Washington State laws regarding the grow or purchase of this or other similar herbs/plants.
I know its sold in smoke shops, so i would assume it’s legal to grow, but i want to be aware if it ever becomes illegal or is specifically banned from being grown.

Same goes for any time of mushrooms or psychedellic herbs

no information is needed on cannabis, i’m well learned in that area.
edit: I’ve also heard peyote is legal for religious purposes in some areas, does anyone know where to find legal information regarding that as well?
