Yarb Tales – Take Thyme
Thyme comes in varied forms and aromas. Garden thyme, Thymus vulgaris is the sub-shrub most used for culinary purposes; our favorite in the kitchen is French thyme sometimes referred to as ‘Narrow-leaf French’. Lemon thyme is delicious in tea, beverages, desserts and salad dressings. Thymus herba-barona is caraway-scented and used to season barons of beef, especially in England, and is also good with cabbage in coleslaw.
The plants are native to the Mediterranean region and enjoy sandy, rocky soil, full sun and well-drained sites. Ozark gardens can provide all of these requirements; however care must be given to keep other garden specimens at a respectable distance and fastidiously remove fallen tree leaves to prevent fungal diseases and death by suffocation. Mulch around the plants in the spring and fall with coarse sand mixed with a little crushed oyster shell. White sand, which can be obtained from Unimin Corporation at Guion, Arkansas, is perfect for thyme and other Mediterranean herbs. This sand reflects light into the lower parts of the plants, keeps the roots cool and moist and is an attractive mulch under Mediterranean green and gray plants.
