For those, who cook a lot and like to make tea, very beneficial to plant also oregano, mint, rosemary, nettle, citrongrass also. These all by time can grow into big patches or bushes in the garden and you have more than enough for the rest of your life. Once these are planted and they established their roots firmly, no need any attention, it will grow forever.
I stuck unrooted cuttings in the ground at the end of October right before winter in New Hampshire. It stayed green all winter even after 2 feet of snow covered it for 6 months. And now that it is spring it looked like it died and then all new sprigs came out of the ground and I have a perfectly healthy thyme plant!
It is still thriving! It has spread to about 12 inches around!
I just bought a thyme plant for the first time. Can't wait to use it for cooking. Thanks for all your tips since I am new at growing it.
Very useful. I saw a lot of sources telling me to split the thyme, but none of them said how to do that. I also like that you showed every part of the process, including taking the leaves off the stem for cooking.
I understand this a seven-year-old video, but I feel my comment is appropriate and necessary. I found the video to be very informative and useful to me. Unfortunately, I already killed my thyme I bought earlier this year, but, there is next year.
You've earned a like and a subscriber from me.
THANKS!!!!!!
Glad you found the video useful. We recently moved and it is looking like I will be able to get some more new content soon.
Thank you! This video deserve more credit!
Nothing better than cooking a ribeye steak with thyme next to it.
Very informative! Thank you. I am glad you included the rosemary drying as well. The info about thyme and honey was awesome.
Great advice on how to propagate more thyme and how to use it. I hit the "thumb up" button.
Much appreciated
You are a great teacher! Thank you for the video!! You really helped me with my questions.
Thank you! I just bought a boat load of thyme from Lowe's clearance section for a quarter. I needed to know everything you mentioned.
Thank you so much. I bought a thyme plant yesterday and now, with your wisdom imparted, I am am confident that I can make a success of this project! Dina
I’m growing my first little pot of thyme this year. Thanks so much for the very informative video!

#thanks for video. that is want I'm looking for! great job.
A few small sprigs of dried thyme tossed onto your electric grill plate will perfume your home and elevate your mood.
This herb has magic to unlock
This was an amazingly helpful and enjoyable video. I don't think you left anything out. I now feel like I am an expert on thyme. Thank you for the wonderful video. I'm going to go and watch more of your videos. Thank you.
love lemon thyme. smells so good
I appreciate your teaching. Thank you!
You are very welcome
Yes, lemon thyme has a wonderful, fresh scent.
Hi, can I use the flowers as well in my tea from Pitsa thyme?
Great video, all the way from cutting to cooking.
Thank you so much,this was really helpful
Have strangely enough had most success with Thymus citriodorus up here in the north. It survives cold and windy winters, the others mostly do to, but they suffer more and do not really recover enough to spread.
wonderful video. thank you.
Great info, thank you 🌱
Very good video..thx
Makes the best meatloaf! Ina Garten uses Thyme in hers, delicious
Good video. I bought purple flowered creeping thyme. Can that be eaten as well?
Thank-u for this video. My Thyme project is now in water on the sill and i am hoping all goes well. Too excited to see the results!! ;) i do have FULL Confidence!
yep ditto👍
3:25 is that a whipporwhill in the background?
Also, you are brave, lifting up mats of plants with gloves. Because .. OMG SPIDERS! LOLOL I've seen too many of them scuttling out from underneath when I'm weeding in the garden, to ever work without gloves. unless i can really see well where I'm working in, and ascertain that there (probably) aren't any. Spider bites are not nice. :(
But .. very informative video, thank you!! I have inherited a huge garden full of creeping thyme when I moved into a new house, (am a complete newbie to gardening!); and wanted to see how to do cuttings for friends and relatives. This was a great help.
Thyme is one of my favourite herbs and one of the first I ever grew (from seed). But still I learnt something new from watching your video. In Australia where I now live (after New Zealand) our Thyme here doesn't grow as big as yours because of the poor soil etc. But enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you for posting.

Thank You for Educating me.
Used thyme to flavor some peas and pearl onions for a potluck. Was delicious and a big hit..
very good and thank you for sharing your video with me :)
Maria
nice videos
Excellent information,...is there a big difference in flavour from the different species of Thyme? Will it tollerate cold weather like Lavander?..Thanks for a very informative article.
I have lemon thyme growing in-between the flat rocks in my terrace. I planted a variety including lemon, silver edged and creeping thyme. It’s such an aromatic and pretty plant. Now I’m confident about transplanting some. Do you think after the plant blooms is the best time to do this?
thumbs up on everything but I beat you on drying it. I just put it inside an empty paper envelope, even a letter one and stick it somewhere with a peg.
1) no dust gets into it
2) when dry you can crush it inside its envelope. Also I might sometimes pick and dry its flowers and not its leaves but that's my preference.
i keep my thyme trimmed into a bush and not spread out into a carpet. i feel it gives me a healthier plant and larger leaves.
Does it reverse time ?
Informative.
Thank you very much.
I have been making some wooden 1.5mtr * 0.5mtr * 0.5mtr planters for my appt terraces, BUT for some unknown reason the 2 Potted Thyme specimens I received died after being replanted. The medium in the planters is free draining compost. I have installed an automatic irrigation system, (functions twice a day @12hr intervals for 6mins. Plants receive about 5>6 hrs direct sunlight each day. So, what else can I do to help the replacement plants survive, any suggestions ?
Thanks fir great information
My pleasure
Great video...... honey is made from nectar not the pollen
Hello. I like your container tomatoes. Thanks for the sub. I subbed to you too. Take care.
Thx u great information God bless
You're welcome
Thank you. Nice to be be your friend too.
I use transparent drinking cups from vending machines and put them in a propagator with vent hols. It is nice to see the roots develop in the cup. Try it out :) You'll need to make a hole in the bottom of the cup.
Thank you.
Which state is that? Can tyme tolerate zero temperatures? Thank you
Can you cook for me? :) Awesome video!
Where are the seeds located on the thyme?
where can I get thyme seed for plantation?
Hey there. Can I see videoes for Rosemary, Peppermint, Lemon Balm and Cayenne Pepper please. I really love herbs
Thanks for the suggestions. I can do one on Lemon Balm and Mint
Currently I need to finish the one on Bok Choy that I have material laid out for.
they help smooth muscular aches and pains
Seems to give me muscular aches and pains by making me bend down to harvest the little buggers.
We use thyme in our dried beans; red beans, lima beans, great northern, pinto, etc. I know a lot of people up north don't eat or know about beans. They are a delicious Southern meal with cornbread, rice, n a nice salad. For more info on beans, contact me. God bless u n urs. IN JESUS NAME MARGIE FROM SOUTHERN MS
They do not know what they are missing :-)
What soil does thyme like because sometimes it can catch root rot very quickly
I use loamy soil with a little sand, that should prevent the root rot.
Did you say it is best to collect thyme to dry when it is blooming?
No, the blooms will be used by the bees.
Is woody thyme bad? Can i not eat the stem anymore if its woody? Or can i not use only leafs?
I'm really new to this but my thyme stems has become woody.
Just use the leaves.
Yep, my time isn't like yours, mine has super tiny purple flowers. The young stems are not woody, they are soft and flexible.
Sounds like you have creeping thyme, mine is english thyme
Can I pulverized the stems n cook with them?
I would only use the leaves
New at gardening herbs etc. & doing so in pots, thank God "I feel" I got that right, lol... My beautiful daughter bought me a "Lemon Thyme plant" that is bloomed, so should I cut it down & use it now, all help would be deeply appreciated & I live in the Pacific NW, finally got a few sunny days starting on this day of writing this... Not to many videos on this plant, it seems & what all can these be used for, hmm, so many questions & a bit nervous as I'd love to keep all my herbs for years, but already made a mistake, as I over watered my "lavender & lemon thyme". Also trying to grow Thai & sweet basil, Rosemary & Oregano so now I at least know, NOT to do so, blushing... The more you can explain would help & appreciated, as not sure on any of these, but trying with what I have left... It does not help to have dementia/cOnFuSiOn, lol, but I can't let my girls down, want to make them proud of me, as I am of them... 😘 🌹🌈💞🎵🌷🌺🌸😆👏👍💫🌟💛 ☘️

Wow, you have a ton of time. I am.trying hard to get to what you have. I think I might not have the proper type.
It this annual or permanent ?
In Texas it is an evergreen(permanent)
Very nice video. It is a shame about the "erb".
excellent video
Do thyme plant die in the winter time?
Not in Texas
I don't punderstand standing for long thyme.
I'm sure there is some quality to which you are speaking but what I heard doesn't make sense. "The plant has more essential oils in the the morning". A plant can't have exhibit a fat in the morning and then digest it's own fat so that it is no longer be there by the afternoon or evening. I do believe something more complicated is happening.
What do people need to grow herbs? They need thyme to do it! Get it?
Are you just posting this comment in every video about pruning time? Ive seen you post it in many now.
