Lemon Thyme definitely smells like lemon and
tastes like lemon. It can be used in any recipe calling for lemon juice,
lemon zest or lemon flavoring. It grows like a weed so there is always
more lemon waiting in the garden. Lemon Thyme
added to
a marinade
is great with fish or chicken.
Lemon Thyme grows rampantly and will layer its stems
on the ground and root. It will continue to spread this way if left
unchecked creating an undulating ground cover.
Lemon Thyme's glossy green foliage
can be sheared to form one of the knots in a traditional knot
garden.
Lemon Thyme is one of the six
plants chosen to be in our Gourmet Herb
Garden Six Pack. It also makes a great addition to our Small Space Herb Garden Six
Pack.
This plant is often
available in plug trays. These trays hold 128
of all the same plant. They are a great low cost way to fill a lot of
space. Each cell is 3/4 of inch by an inch. Check here to see
if
Lemon Thyme Plug Trays
