Tiny-leaved thyme takes up very little space in the raised garden. It likes full sun and not much water. I have not had great success with thyme for whatever reason. Plants are similar to people: some thrive and others don’t in the same environment for reasons that are mysterious. Don’t be critical of yourself if elements of your garden fail. Sometimes a plant isn’t happy in its environment and it can’t tell you why. I don’t know what the story is with thyme but I’m giving it another go. So far, so good. I have planted it in a row with other plants that also don’t like a lot of water. Thyme can be dried by placing it on a baking sheet and left overnight in the oven.
