Thyme Thymus herba-barona

Thyme I like the article

Light ThymeSole pieno
We suggest to position the The Thyme in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day. The leaves of aromatic plants are used in the kitchen; if necessary let’s remember to use only agricultural parasiticides, and let’s follow the lacking period indicated on the label: if we spray a plant we can ‘t use its leaves for alimentary use for the period of time indicated, when the chemical product is harmful.We suggest growing the The Thyme in the garden; these are very rustic plants.

Cultivation Thyme
These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Thyme Is small in size; in summer it assumes a purple colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. The Thyme is a plant for a rock garden.

Fertilize Thyme
During the spring months let’s add to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days, some fertilizer for green plants, rich in nitrogen and potassium.

Water ThymeTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 2-3 weeks . To use these plants year round we can proceed with harvesting, in the spring or in the summer. The plants should be washed and dried well, then dehydrated, or frozen, to use them during the year.

Pests Thyme
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Thyme
These plants need a substratum with an optimum drainage.

The Thyme also has a pleasing fragrance; the development of these plants allows to also grow them in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
