Is this a plant that bugs don't like the smell of? I scattered English thyme seeds in a couple of peat pots and they look like Chia pets in need of a haircut now. My plan was to transplant little hunks of seedlings into separate pots and set them among my veggies...

You know, I usually have thyme growing in or near my vegetables, but I haven't given much thought to their use as a companion plant. I do use dried thyme with rosemary a lot of times in my kitchen cabinets to keep weird crawly things out of my flour and meal, etc. But I don't know if it as the same benefit in a garden. It wouldn't hurt to try though!
