The flowers are completely edible. Leave them on - they attract bees

Any large nursery that readily stocks herbs, will sell thyme seed. As for how much per kilogram, well that depends. Proper Nursery's will sell them around 10- 20 dollars, for good healthy seeds. But for the best seeds money can buy, you seriously could look at 100 dollars for a kilo bag.

if you pick the bad or dead leaves off the plant that will give it more space for new leaves to grow, also harvest it once every two weeks, dont take all the leaves off wilst harvesting as that will wrek it, only take off a few leaves at a time, not the ones on the top, on hot days water near the roots, the during dusk water the leaves.

I grew tomatoes, herbs and strawberrys. They are all struggling with the hot summer heat, The tomatoes have tomato fruit and I am using the herbs basil, mint,parsley in cooking: Oregano and coriander are struggling: The strawberries are not going to make it: late afternoon when the heat has dropped I give all the plants a cool light watering to help them. What else could I do to help these plants to get through the hot summer? I welcome all expert advice: Compassionate gardener:

I sent in a reply to the above query, but it appears to have been posted elsewhere - and not directly under Sylvanna's request.

I have never had any luck with thyme as it always dies on me. Any suggestions welcome. Hank
