June 21, 2017Q.Growing Creeping Thyme in early summer.
Hi, my husband and I just finished laying stepping stones. We wanted to plant creeping thyme in between. Since we are just entering summer, can we still plant seeds? And how should we care for them? We live in DC. Thanks for your help!

Medical Lake, WA 99022Q.Kill grass in creeping thyme lawn….
We purchased a house that has a thyme lawn - problem is it was neglected for some time and there is quite a bit of grass working it's way in. What can I use to kill the grass - but not the thyme? I'm hoping there is something otherwise I'll have to dig up quite a bit of the yard. :(

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, you will have to dig up quite a bit of the yard. This will be the best way to get them out without harming the thyme. Then you will need to make sure that any that come up gets pulled after as well.

April 5, 2018A.That is what I was afraid of. :( No fun! I know it's expensive to get a thyme lawn started and was hoping for a better way to salvage it. Thank you for answering.

April 9, 2018Q.creeping tyme
We have a bed of creeping tyme from last year, most of the plants are brown and look dried up and dead, except for the ends. The ends still have green foliage on them. Should we pull out the last years plants to start this years new crop? Or should we care for the brown plants and they will renew. Thanks Glenn

April 9, 2018A.You should be able to just prune them back. This is done in the spring to rejuvenate them.
Watering them in the spring will also help the green up.
Water with about an inch of water, you should get moisture to a depth of 6 inches.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/thyme/growing-creeping-thyme.htm

Certified ExpertA.Many of them will germinate, so if you have enough seeds to spare, and know that many of them will die then some of them will grow. This method can work. The best way would be to plant as many as you want indoors until they are established, then transplant them out after.
This article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/thyme/growing-creeping-thyme.htm

December 17, 2018A.We do not sell from this web site. Do I Google search for seeds as there are many reputable sellers that can ship to you.

May 9, 2019A.Prepare the planting area by mixing generous quantities of organic humus into the soil. Peat moss, processed manure, and compost (if available) are excellent soil additives. Mix them about 50% with your existing soil. You only need to prepare the soil 6 to 10 inches deep. Remove weeds and stones and rake.
Broadcast the seed over the planting area. It may help to mix the fine seed with sand to get more even distribution. Press the seeds lightly into the soil, but do not cover. Water well and continue to water especially through hot periods.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/thyme/growing-creeping-thyme.htm
