HERB - Thyme (was lavender)

[RAISYA@aol.com]

I had really poor luck with thyme as long as I took care of it.  Then I 
filled a hole of a concrete block with dirt and some compost and planted some 
seeds.  I watered them til they sprouted, then mostly ignored it except 
during the extended dry spells of our SE Texas summer.  It didn't get any 
water for a week and a half at one point, during one of the hottest parts of 
our very hot and humid summer.  The more I ignored it, the better it did.

I had to leave those plants behind when we moved a few months back, but it 
worked a second time.  About 4 1/2 months ago, I filled up a block here and 
put in a tiny seedling I bought, watered it daily for a week or two, then 
ignored it except to make sure it had water at least once a week (we had 
about 2 months in the spring with little rain).  The plant's grown down every 
side of that block, and I've had to cut it back several times.

I guess some plants are a just a bit shy of being noticed :).
