It feels a bit like May.
The ticks seem to think so too.
Growing Thyme is the right decision here. Green right through the winter. The small bits that I separated and transplanted around all made it through. I've ordered some seeds, the red creeping variety to replace any lawn that is left. I need as much Thyme as I can gather. Bees love it, ticks hate it and the place will smell great. And. Less maintenance.
There were a lot of loose things pinned to the cloth I call A Deep Pool of Thought. I emptied it . Now I might call it The Deeper Pool of Thought. For a while.
Maybe I need an open air ritual.
Thyme tea is good for the lung infections etc.
Yes!
My thyme has done really well with the cold snaps and I am planting more…it’s a favorite herb. Need to start over with rosemary, again…
A pool is such a lovely place to rest.
no luck with rosemary here. I bring it in in winter and it never seems to survive the dry air.
I’m resting there in this pool.
Spring is a perfect thyme for a ritual dive into the deep pool.
I am so glad for the change…
Lemon thyme popping up here, I’m scared dengue will make it to breed on our humid coasts. I do love the tiny leaves of thyme.
the mosquitoes here will be a big problem this year with all the rain…
Always learn something useful here! Ticks and Thyme, who knew?!
❤️
who ever knows, so much to know…
Oooo…. what a great pool of thought.
Thyme grows really well here in the forest, spreads around by itself, which I like. I don’t think I knew that ticks don’t like it, good to know!
come swim with me!
The tree guy suggested it…
I’m diving in!
Sounds like a great garden plan. A deep pool in cloth is beautiful.
a rather easy plan I think…
Thyme is always a favorite next to walkways and between stones… Fragrance delivered as it is brushed or stepped on!
Yes, walking on it is great. A Thyme carpet!
I have it growing here. It self sowed from a previous year and loves itself in a crack between cement and wood. It’s a culinary type and I put it in everything. Love the texture of the deep pool. Love ruching.
Ticks already!?
Gonna be a big tick year…they are always there really…more active with the early warm up.
Oh I didn’t know about thyme and ticks! I have some growing in my herb bed and it seems to thrive best on neglect. I have that stupid tick borne food allergy and am always looking for more ways to keep them out of my yard (besides getting chickens again, maybe someday…) I think transplanting it into the yard is a fantastic idea. And also, who doesn’t wish to grow more time? I’ve been doing some rushing this week, in a random meandering way. I like it in a shape like this, your large new moon pool.
Oh L love the thyme! So good for us too. And your deep pool of thought evokes for me the upcoming eclipses–lunar March 25 and solar April 8. It’s beautiful. Thank you.
It has a comforting darkness.
Thyme for Deep thoughts
Love it!
Ha!
I my that is déép ! 🙂
needing it.
Oh, I love Thyme! I’ve planted many kinds in my years as a gardener, but the only one that has lasted is the one planted in the cruellist place…poor soil, and blazing hot Texas sun.
Deeper pools and Open Air…I like the combination!
it is an amazing plant. I’m in love.
that pool is exquisite
Gonna dive in for a while
I’d like to try the red creeping Thyme you mentioned! I wonder if it would grow in our sandy soil?
🌞🕊️
probably, it is very tolerant …
