Summer thyme BIO

Summer thyme is an essential ingredient for Mediterranean cuisine. This perennial herb grows quickly and is only partially winter hardy. Tender stems. The leaves are strongly scented. One bag is for approximately 30m2, and the planting distance is 25x25 cm.

Summer thyme is a perennial herb, and produces beautiful tender stems with strongly fragrant leaves. Thyme is an indispensable herb in the Mediterranean kitchen.
Summer thyme is somewhat less winter hardy than Thyme 'German Winter'. An advantage of summer thyme is that it grows a lot faster than Thyme 'German Winter', and the stems are therefore also more tender and somewhat less woody.
Sow summer thyme indoors in March and April in a pot or tray, and plant the summer thyme in the open ground or greenhouse in May. Keep a planting distance of 30x15 cm or 25x25 cm.

The first harvest will take place from the end of June. In subsequent years earlier harvesting will also be possible, depending on the location; the warmer and sunnier, the earlier you can harvest. Summer thyme flowers at the beginning of the second year.
Harvest the thyme by cutting the stems a few cm above the ground or pot.
Thyme is best planted in a sunny, dry spot in your garden, with little fertilizer. Thyme does not like wet feet.

Saving seeds

Store seeds in a cool, dry and dark place, such as a sealed box in a cupboard. Pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging and use them before that time. If the packaging has been opened, make sure it is sealed properly and check the germination capacity before use.

You can easily test the germination capacity of seeds with a germination test :

  1. Place a few seeds (for example 10) on a damp piece of kitchen paper.
  2. Fold the paper towel closed and place it in a plastic bag or place it in a sealed container.
  3. Place it in a warm place, such as on the windowsill.
  4. After a few days, check to see if the seeds have started to germinate.
