I love the little bushes they make and I love that they attract the bees when in flower.<BR/><BR/>Perennialgardener, I always hope to add more too. I never have enough.<BR/><BR/>Dan, oh that is so sad. I've had my thymes die too well except the lemon one. I'm hoping it still lived. I think mine die sometimes because it is too wet here for them. My creeping thyme dies in patches but then creeps back and fills in over the years. It is slowly taking over the herb garden.<BR/><BR/>Karen, I think it must be a deciduous thyme. All the others seem to be evergreens. <BR/><BR/>Blossom, I'm sure it will get time over the summer as long as it puts its clothes back on.<BR/><BR/>Frances, that was my addition from last year. When I got it I didn't realize that it wasn't a culinary thyme :< but it sure is pretty. I have pruned back some of the golden lemon thyme. I'll do a farther prune when I figure out what is still alive and what it really dead. It is hard to tell with just looking.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-15513269497370238912009-03-29T08:52:00.000-04:002009-03-29T08:52:00.000-04:00Hi Daphne, we love thyme here too, especially the ...Hi Daphne, we love thyme here too, especially the Doone Valley variety with its color changing ways. It does get sort of straggly at the end of winter. Hope your golden lemon grows some new outfits. Would a pruning help?<BR/>FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-24716335164422487862009-03-29T08:34:00.000-04:002009-03-29T08:34:00.000-04:00Those are lovely thyme.

I grow a lot of different thymes too, love the silver, golden lemon (mine doesn't look great either - wonder if they tend to be less hardy in bad winters), and others I always forget the names of. I just clipped some for a sauce tonight! It looked like it never went through anything resembling snow and ice for weeks on end. I'll have to see if I can find that reddish one of yours, it's a beaut!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-23172663900013007572009-03-28T22:50:00.000-04:002009-03-28T22:50:00.000-04:00Nice thyme's.

Our snow melts in the middle of winter, then we get a deep freeze and it kills them dead. I am thinking of growing all the herbs in pots this year and then place them in the shed for the worst of the winter.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-12657748628348602632009-03-28T17:44:00.000-04:002009-03-28T17:44:00.000-04:00You have a nice variety of Thymes in your garden D...You have a nice variety of Thymes in your garden Daphne.

But I think they are all beautiful and smell wonderful.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864042359805755661noreply@blogger.com
