Description
Thyme is a very decorative low growing herb with a lovely flavour. It can be used in a whole host of dishes and goes particularly well with chicken. It is also one of the main components of a Bouquet Garni. It produces pretty pink flowers which are attractive to bees and grows to a height 40cm.
When to Sow: February to May.
Where to Sow: Sow seeds under glass 0.5cm (¼") deep, in small trays of compost and lightly cover the seeds with a sprinkling of compost, and place at a temperature of 15-20°C . Alternatively sow direct outside in April and May into shallow seed drills.
What to do next: Prick out seedlings individually to 8cm (3") pots, once large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler conditions, then gradually harden off plants in a cold frame before planting out after risk of frost has passed. Transplant to final positions 30cm (12in) apart or into larger containers, or grow a few in pots on a light windowsill all year round. Direct sown seedlings can be thinned to 15cm (6in) apart then lifted and transplanted to final positions once large enough to handle.
Harvest: All year round.
Handy Tip: Give plants cloche protection or lift a clump and pot up and bring under cover in autumn to allow picking into winter.
Nutritional Values: Thyme contains high amounts of Vitamin C, A and Iron.
