So, j have a lemon thyme plant and would like ideas for it.
Growing, cuttings, uses, literally anything about it
Anyone have experience?
We have lemon thyme as well as your standard garden variety (hah!) thyme. They split readily to make new clonal cuttings, and I’ve rarely had one fail regardless of the timing of the division. We dry it for use in teas or for cooking, and it makes a good ground cover partner for plants like strawberries. The small flowers help to support solitary bees as well as parasitoid wasps, which help to regulate the insect pressure on the thyme’s plant neighbors.
Yea, I’m waiting for the bush I bought to grow a bit before j make lots of cuttings
It is generally wonderful in any recipe that calls for thyme. I use it in addition to the ingredients in my balsamic vinaigrette for a nice flavor boost. It’s great on chicken.
How do I add to chicken? Do j just place it in the same pan/tray?
Rub the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle with the thyme. Some garlic and a squeeze of lemon will be nice, simple, and flavorful. Don’t go too overboard with the seasoning until you learn how you like it.
I have one outside now alive for two years.
Just full sun (south side) and watering it maybe every 2 to three days.
In the same watering container than my sage.Cool. Do you use it for anything?
Something like oven potatoes with oven vegetables and a sour cream dip, barbeque meats and something adjacent to those kinds of dishes.
