Summer Thyme
Seeds
Thymus vulgaris
The best culinary thyme, with a high essential oil content, and a spicy, pungent flavor. Use summer thyme to flavor meat, poultry, and fish. Plants grow 6-12 in. tall, with a more upright stance than most thymes. Easy to grow in pots, or herb garden. Winter hardy to zone 6, summer thyme can be grown as an annual everywhere. Packet is ⅛ gram, about 500 seeds.
Growing Summer Thyme Seeds
Plant Thyme Seeds: Sow thyme seeds in cell packs or flats, press into soil but do not cover. Needs light to germinate. At 70° F., germination is in 14-21 days. Transplant thyme seedlings into the garden, 6-12 in. apart.
Grow Thyme: Full sun or part shade, and well-drained soil. Needs little summer water once established. One tbs. of dried thyme leaves, or 2 tbs. of fresh thyme, steeped 5 minutes in 8 oz. of hot water makes an excellent tea. Strain and add honey to taste.
