[Artemisia] A Garden for Reflection and amusement

[Kim Rule]

Constance de la Rose, OL
(the gardener longing for spring) mentioned:

"Thyme is a very good one - the cooking kind not the decorative kind -
it will 
grow to a certain size and then stay there.   You can clip it to provide

flavoring for food and it will grow to fill in and then stop.   Takes
very little 
water and no real care.   I use it as the filler between the sidewalk
and the 
street because I got tired of mowing and watering that area.   Also when
you 
walk on it, it smells great.   And it isn't harmful to anyone or
anything that 
I know of."

Actually, thyme was used in medieval gardens between paving stones where
people walked.  
When a lady's train would be drug across it, it would rub the plants,
and fill the air with the scent of thyme!  Pretty cool if you ask me!
