    Marigolds and nasturtiums are popular choices for herb containers. They like similar conditions to herbs and also are both edible flowers.

    Take a sprig of the thyme that is at least 4" long. Strip the leaves off the bottom half of the sprig. Place this in water. To help keep rot away, mix the water with 1 drop (no more) of bleach to one cup of water. Rooting hormone added to the water or using willow water will help.

    The flowers are normal and it is ok to cut it back at this time.

    The leaves of this plant are in fact edible and often used in cooking. They are said to have a somewhat garlic flavor.

    Sounds like a damping off problem. This article should help you with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/seeds/what-is-damping-off.htm

    Also, it may help to water from below, not above, whenever possible. Water when the soil gets dry just on the top. You could set the seeding containers (with holes in the bottom) into a container with water as well. It will wick the water up as needed.

    The only way to prevent flowering would be to trim the plant back (or mow them over), especially once you begin to notice blooms appearing.
