your soil may be to dense, mix in well some sand, densce soil does not allow the herbs to grow, they are delicate plants.
Start most HErbs indoors, spread seeds in a damp towel, in moderate light, kep dfamp, after a few days they shuld srout, transfer to small paper cups , and cover (roots) with just enough sil, do not pack tight. after a few weeks when herbs are 2 to 3 inches, transfer to out side.
Herbs need special treatment as a rule, that is one reason why they are not mass produced like corn or potatoes, they take a little extra care. There great indoor or enclosed porch plants, and grow best that way.
good luck.
