Just look at all of 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 going to plant an herb garden.” that’s great. I have an herb garden, and I love it. Just look across all of 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? It’s 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.
The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem singing Will Ye Go Lassie Go, this version was wriiten by Francie McPeake. recorded from a vynal record. Oh, the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? And we’ll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? I will build my love a tower Near yon pure crystal fountain And on it I will build All the flowers of the mountain Will ye go lassie, go? And we’ll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? If my true love she were gone I would surely find another Where wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? And we’ll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? Oh, the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go?
