Thyme

Thyme is one of the easiest of all herbs to grow in the home garden as it is a low growing shrubby perennial plant that produces underground shoots that sucker, forming a compact clump that will provide an almost endless supply of foliage for the kitchen. There are various types of thyme but the most useful are common thyme and lemon thyme (which also comes in an attractive gold-leafed form) All thymes are very useful culinary herbs that can be used to flavour soups, stews and meat and fish dishes. Thyme can be planted either in the garden or in containers and needs little care so long as it is being regularly trimmed for use in the kitchen.
