agh didnt know it was scented ,wow,ive been growing the thyme all blooming year ,nowhere near flowering yet ,it started out as dust litterally ,its in the garden now but im told once it takes it spreads so you can chop and divide it so to speak

good luck, my previous neighbour grew a whole border using cuttings of lavender

thank you ,its good fun watching em grow,I transferred my lupins from plazzy seed trays to bio degradable pots,i was worried as Im reading lupin seedlings hate being disturbed with em having a long taproot ,I think Ive got away with it though as they seem to be doing ok this last week
