 + ===== Short comments =====

 + ===== General comments ===== 
 +Space plants: 25 - 30 cm apart  Compatible with (can grow beside): Dry-environment herbs (oregano,sage), Eggplant, Cabbage  Thyme is slow to grow from seed and is best propagated from root divisions or cuttings.  Seeds need to be started in a warm frost- free place. A greenhouse is ideal. Keep under cover until about 10cm (4in) high, then harden off by putting outside during the day and inside at night for about a week. Transplant the young plants into their final positions, in well-drained soil in full sunlight. Harvest sparingly in the first year.  Root divisions, from 3 or 4 year old plants, can be taken in late Spring and then planted into a sunny spot.  Water sparingly once established and avoid feeding. The plants will have most flavour in Summer months.  Thyme dies down in the winter, if frosty, but a good layer of mulch round the plant will protect the roots and provide enough food to keep it growing.
