Not enough thyme

While pulling out thyme in my refrigerator and thinking of all the thyme I am planting in the garden, I seriously thought “I never have enough thyme”. Then I realized what I just said ;)

I hope to have plenty of thyme this year. You'd never know it by how busy I am. 😅

I've had challenges growing thyme, so you could say that I never have enough of the plant, never mind the dimensional thing. :-)

This was the complete story to my cute TCM doctor (completely out of my league):

True story just now: 

While pulling out thyme in my refrigerator and thinking of all the thyme I am planting in the garden, I seriously thought “I never have enough thyme”. Then I realized what I just said ;)

Nap over, now smoothy with a little coffee smoothie stuff, extra cocoa powder, honey, raw Sweet potato (reduces acid and is a prebiotic), thyme (snicker snicker), and then back to the garden 🪴 

…. would add a little powdered marshmallow root, like my spiritual sister suggested, but my miracle working TCM doctor said to stay with the program. And I guess, since I haven’t been listening to my gut for over a year now, it’s going to take awhile to train it again. First the tongue, then the gut :) 

Hoping to start Asian ginseng (kidney) and Oregon grape (kill a pylori, etc) soon ;)

You have to taste the food to see if your body wants it, then see how your gut feels :)

Do you know what type of willow tree this is? I put some in this water and it is going crazy.

@heirlooms777 I have no idea what type of willow it is. Would you happen to have a picture of the parent tree? That might help.

I found it in the Japanese garden …. I’ll have to go back

If only we could grow more time lol. Also "Time is an illusion" thyme is an herb lol.

So true, one never seems to have enough time or thyme.

@heirlooms777 I just got diagnosed as having H pylori. I am getting a prescription from my naturopath. Kind of wish I had thought of Oregon grape before buying the prescription. I know that Oregon grape works well on gut infections.

I love thyme, it is one of my favorite herbs.

When I lived in the Los Angeles suburb (sandy soil), my English thyme was big, but in the San Diego area (sandstone) my thyme has not done as well but I am going to try again this year and I have planted both English and French thyme in my vertical planters.

@heirlooms777 While out in the garden today, I offered the neighbor a few sprigs of fresh thyme. He immediately ate them, his eyes lit up and he smiled. I love my garden!
