Lemon Thyme with P. Allen Smith and Bonnie Plants

http://bonnieplants.com P. Allen Smith discusses the merits of lemon thyme, a culinary herb that combines the flavor of thyme with tangy lemon. Just look at all this lemon thyme. Isn't it gorgeous? Well I just wish you could smell it. I mean it's just incredible. You know, I like to use herbs in interesting and different ways. You could say hey I'm gonna plant an herb garden. That's great. I have an herb garden and I love it. Just look across all these plants. It looks like a sea of lemon thyme. Now think about this as a ground cover. I use it as a ground cover in areas of my garden that are really well drained and I want something that would be very decorative and interesting. In fact, I took a long narrow bed with some espaliered apple trees and planted lemon thyme under it. It was a knockout! To harvest thyme, all you have to do is take a pair of scissors and just clip off the tips like you're mowing this little landscape or this ground cover bed. Now this is an herb that you can use in lots of different ways, not only in the garden. but in the kitchen as well. In the summer, this with roasted chicken is a knockout, and new potatoes make it a must-have. You know, what's so great about herbs is that you can use them in so many ways. As a ground cover, certainly something to use in the kitchen to give life a little more flavor. and just as a decorative container out on your patio. Pick up some herbs and have some fun.
