By Sharon
October 29, 2012

I have some lemon thyme and I love to rub my hands on it to get the fresh scent. Sorry to say I have never tried it in a dish, but will do some research now to see what else I can put it in. I learn so much reading your articles. Thanks, Sharon.
May all your weeds be wildflowers. ~Author Unknown

I cook with the lemon thyme whenever i make pork roast. Rosemary, too. Grow all my herbs mostly because I like them, they smell great when you rub them or waterhose them Hilarious! , and the bees like them. Maybe over the winter I will experiment with soaps and such.

I haven't made soaps in such a long time, but all these herb studies make me want to get back into it.

I love thyme--both as an ornamental plant, as well as an herb in cooking. Hadn't thought much about the medicinal purposes, so this is great information.
Thanks, Sharon.
