Growing Thyme
An Elegant Herb with Simple Tastes

Wednesday December 13, 2006
Thyme is a hard herb to describe taste-wise, because it can mimic and complement so many other herbs. But there’s no missing the zippy, refreshing quality it adds to all types of foods. And thyme is incredibly easy to grow. How many other herbs can handle being stepped on repeatedly, and still go on growing strong? The trailing varieties soften containers and rock walls, the prostrate creepers soften walk ways and pavers and they all attract lovely pollinating bees to your gardens. Plus thyme is evergreen, so you can harvest all year long.
