Thyme to Divide and Transplant Herbs

Published by hifive at 8:19 pm under Garden Planning and Planting Edit This

Perennial herbs are coming out of dormancy, and it is time to divide or transplant them in most areas of the US except the northernmost states.

Thyme is a woody little plant, almost like a little shrub. As soon as I see some of the tiny leaves beginning to green up, I divide last year’s spread of rooted plants and get them transplanted for the new season.

 The soil is workable, so the divisions were transplanted to a new area of the herb garden. Even if the soil seems moist, water the transplants a little to help the roots make contact.
