Growing thyme
1/ Thyme is not a particularly difficult herb to grow however it’s advised to have well-drained soil in a partially shaded position.
2/ If you are growing thyme from a seed then the thyme seeds should be sown in small pots containing potting compost. Within a week seedlings should appear and that’s when you should thin to 2-3 seedlings, keep the compost moist.
3/ Following the first sign of leaves take into the garden to harden off.
4/ Once thyme has established itself it requires little maintenance. Try to avoid over watering and over feeding.
5/ Try and harvest thyme during June and July when it has the best taste.
When planting thyme always remember to refer to the instructions on the seed packets!
