This is my new pride and joy. I have always wanted a thyme plant, now I have two plants. One was given to me by my son and I got the other one from a friend. Initially I had them in my patio - a spot I hardly frequent - I even got some tomato and cucumber seeds but those quickly died. I had to remember to water my plants. I have since relocated them to an area (outside my apartment where I park my vehicle) where I can see them everyday so I would not have cause to forget to water them.
On Saturday I went to the landscaping store and purchased some pots, top soil/fertilizer and a few mini landscaping tools. It so happened that the store was offering a 20% discount. As soon as I got home, I transplanted the plants from the pots that I got them in to the new pots.
Every morning when I return from my early morning walks, I water my plants. I have made it a routine and it is working great. I am now seeing deep vivid green colour in the new leaves on the thyme plants whereas before the leaves were a pale green colour. This thyme is known by the following names: broad leaf thyme, big leaf thyme, cuban oregano, spanish thyme
I recently added some more plants to my 'garden' - The Aloe plant. The landscapers at my work place were doing their monthly maintenance and I observed that they had planted some new plants. On closer observation, I realized that they plants were Aloes. I asked for a few plants and I got three! Aloes is a great plant to have in the yard.
I have made many attempts to grow different herbs but they all died. I eventually resigned myself to thinking that I do not have a 'green thumb'. My mother has a green thumb, everything she plants grows well.
My husband has planted and harvested some dasheen bush in our back yard. He had a large banana crop in St. Vincent so he is familiar with these sort of things.
