Nicoletta, I Google, like "Thyme and it's healing benefits" for anything I want to grow, I google for all facts, I live in a unit and have very little garden space, precious little space with sun. Also health needs, and I like the natural way. Norma PS, everyone, I searched everywhere for Horseradish root, or plants. Found 2 at the market, when it is established, I will gladly share pieces of my plant roots, you pay postage. I'm in Toowoomba. Australia only, can't share with WA, sorry.

I don't know about thyme but 'Gotukola' is said to help with arthritis. Botanical name - Centella asiatica. It is very easy to grow. Look it up on the internet for more info. All the best. Bob

I live in the Klein Karoo and growing herbs is a passion of mine. I have difficulty with thyme as it does not do to good in my garden. My water surply is brakkish. Could that be the problem with my herbs?

My Thyme is growing wonderfully, but do I cut the flowers off and can you eat the flower aswell??

The flowers are completely edible. Leave them on - they attract bees

Any large nursery that readily stocks herbs, will sell thyme seed. As for how much per kilogram, well that depends. Proper Nursery's will sell them around 10- 20 dollars, for good healthy seeds. But for the best seeds money can buy, you seriously could look at 100 dollars for a kilo bag.

if you pick the bad or dead leaves off the plant that will give it more space for new leaves to grow, also harvest it once every two weeks, dont take all the leaves off wilst harvesting as that will wrek it, only take off a few leaves at a time, not the ones on the top, on hot days water near the roots, the during dusk water the leaves.
