French thyme or our fine-leaved thyme is a classic herb, small leaves, tough stems, it smells warm, earthy and flowery, it is a little pungent and has a lovely clove-like aroma.
Uses: French Thyme is used to season chicken, fish, pork and beef, also add to your favourite peas and it also pairs well in tomato-based sauces and local soups.
Sunlight: French Thyme enjoys full sunlight. Indoors, place near sunny window or sunny patio.
Humidity: Ensure proper air circulation is provided.
Soil: Our herb garden contains well drain soil which is ideal for growth. Once per week lightly till the soil around the plant. This achieves aeration which allows air, water and nutrients to penetrate the roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous herb garden.
Water: Most varieties of thyme are drought-tolerant, so only give a thorough watering, when the soil is completely dry.
Nutrients: Our Herb Garden doesn’t require immediate plant food, as our potting soil already contains a slow-release plant food that can last up to 6 months. If plant food is needed or your herb plant shows signs of stress like yellowing foliage, you can add your favourite compost, or use an organic liquid plant food or a weak solution of an all-purpose water-soluble fertilizer.
Harvest: Clip as needed, the more you trim your thyme, the more it grows. Leave behind at least five inches of growth, so that the plant can still flourish. Regular pruning not only encourages more growth, but also promotes a more rounded shape.
