The care secret that transformed my Thyme

I'd had Thyme for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to harvesting regularly to prevent plants going to seed and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

fast growing from seed or small plug plant became much more pronounced. The plant in a dedicated raised herb bed near the back door now looks like a completely different specimen. drying or freezing surplus growth in late summer confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. bolting in hot dry weather especially with cilantro has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Thyme is underwhelming, look at harvesting regularly to prevent plants going to seed first.
