I thought the lemon thyme seemed to have more sustantial leaves so that is what attracted me to it.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-29364676534750629852010-09-02T08:02:08.243+10:002010-09-02T08:02:08.243+10:00Rainforest Gardener, well everyone else has too ma...Rainforest Gardener, well everyone else has too many papwpaw seedlings as well! <br />Grower Jim, Yes it does smell great and that is why I let it fill up every avaialble area. I think the name cuban oregano is much more descriptive.<br />Solitude Rising, I first started this herb spiral in order to grow rosemary through the seasons, as it hates wet feet. The rosemary is at the top where it is very free draining. the more herbs suited to this climate that I grow the better they do....africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-71037531688030752012010-09-02T07:59:39.079+10:002010-09-02T07:59:39.079+10:00I love the idea of an herb spiral. :) Charming! ...I love the idea of an herb spiral. :) Charming! <br /><br />I have better luck with lemon thyme here in a subtropical region. However, my thyme always does badly for the first year here, sometimes for the first two years, and then takes hold and does well. It's almost like it's languishing, gathering its forces to be able to handle the heat and humidity. One gardening friend told me it always goes dormant for her in the first year after planting. So maybe don't give up yet!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-11809580006580254742010-09-02T07:01:31.370+10:002010-09-02T07:01:31.370+10:00I don't have much knowledge about herbs.

Now my knowledge of herbs just grew, I can add to it Mother of Herbs (Cuban Oregano).
