Lemon Thyme

This is my patch of lemon thyme. Karen invited me to come over and dig up some thyme that was taking over her garden. That was about 5 years ago, and mine just keeps spreading too. Last winter it got a little sad, and big areas died off, but I trimmed out the dead stuff, and it came roaring back. I love it. Thanks, Karen, for sharing.
The best time to harvest most herbs is right before they bloom, so I'm keeping my eye on it for flower buds. Then we can harvest and hang little bunches in the kitchen. Lemon thyme adds both lemon and thyme flavors: it is awesome.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
