A phoenix of a plant in the memory garden, I had forgotten that I planted three of these herbs there last year. They disappeared among the mulch and other plants. One of them climbed out of the mulch and is looking really heathy right now, however.

Thymus is a great plant family–not only do we get some great culinary herbs, but the whole family is a fun group of ground covers. I love the smell of this one best, with its lemony spice.

My future plans for this plant are to keep an eye on it and save it from any agressive mulch that tries to cover it permanently. If it does better, I’ll look at propagating it or adding a few new types to that garden.
