Thymus vulgaris (Garden thyme)

Think Thyme has to be my most favourite herb.

I love it too

I planted some this Spring...lovely

Best its ever been this year.

Love the plant and the photo how old is it?

its been there 4-5 years took a while to establish Nana.

Love Thyme too...I have Lemon Thyme, and hard pruned it last year as it got very woody...then thought I might have over done it, but it's back with lovely new growth..

I hard pruned a woody one of mine and it died Crissue

That's a shame...They do say to replace them every 3-4 years, but I see yours is even older, and is looking very healthy...Do you use it in cooking...I try and get as much to dry for the Winter months as possible...as to buy herbs is so expensive...and home grown and naturally dried is so much more flavoursome....

Not this one it is grown only as a rockery plant. But if grown as a herb you would need to replace them from cuttings to keep them young and leafy.

I love thyme.......grow several varieties here, they do very well.
