- Thyme is a wonderful herb to use for cooking and soooo hardy too! I will show you how to dry your thyme for storage. I will also share with you why it is a wonderful plant to grow for bees. The plant is easily 3 years old and ready for regular harvesting.

The wild bunnies dug my thyme up and nested under it. Humph. Now I need to start it over. Great video.
Thanks Donna. At our house we like basil, and rosemary as our 2 favorite herbs. I hang mine in the garage. as they tend to not make it over the winter I hang them with the root attached. Thanks again

I just started 6 seeds divided into 3 cells. I can't wait to watch them grow! 🤩
The dehydrator and food saver are marvelous gadgets to see in action. Thanks for the very informative video! Great job, Donna!
Nice harvest! I love thyme and recently I am making another attempt at growing them despite being a bad gardener. This time I'm doing it in a planter instead of the ground. Hopefully my thyme gets as bountiful as yours.
Wow you have a lot of thyme! Homegrown herbs are the best, thrifty too! My thyme didn't make it through our unusually cold winter. Great tips Donna!
Seems like there is never enough Thyme in the day! Takes time to make Thyme. :-) Thanks "Dining" Donna.

Good one Chuck :D
Love the tip on using the food saver, I’ve never used that feature on ours but how handy! How long do you think the dehydrated herbs will last if stored in jars without sucking the air out?
Thanks for sharing the info! Sometimes it just helps so much to SEE how to do something. Not only did I learn how to grow thyme, but got to see how you use the Excalibur dehydrator and the food saver. Now I need those gadgets!
Lovely update and thank you for sharing Donna have a blessed day
You are very detailed, and for a beginner this info is very valuable. Thanks
Thank you! Please feel free to check out my other growing videos: th-cam.com/video/glzA3aH35l4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, I had a wonderful thyme!
Thanks, you have given me another understanding of what to do. Thanks
Glad to help
Great Thyme! Ours is so little being 1st year, thanks :) we will be drying in no-time!
wow, you have some great great contents here. Thanks for all the information.
It has been a full year and finally I see my first thyme growing
This was a very nice video
Thank you! I'm new to dehydrating herbs and this helped a lot. I have a ton of thyme to dehydrate. Thanks for sharing! I have a FoodSaver too!!
Thank you...this is so helpful! I've had issues with my thyme plant (I'm new to growing herbs) and I had a feeling it was because of the way I was harvesting it (my first plant died off...or at least appeared dead). I was just cutting a bit off the top instead of cutting low. I'm going to try cutting low and see if that makes a difference. My other herbs (basil, oregano, rosemary) are all doing well. You've got a new subscriber here!
Thank you so much! Please feel free to check out my "How to Grow " videos on my channel. They are very thorough with real examples from my gardens.
Great!
Hey Donna! You have a nice bunch of thyme. I have lemon thyme and mines have the buds so I shouldn't cut it now? I like to wash all my herbs too but someone told me it takes the flavor away, oh well. Good video!
Great video, thank you so much... My Lemon Thyme was already bloomed (Received for my birthday) in this early spring, but I just trimmed the plant & small bit to where I can't hang it, so should I just put in a cut paper bag in a cool dark place to dry? Then take all off of the short stems please? Anyone know as I'm new to this, but trying, smiles... 😘 🌹🌈💞🎵🌷🌺🌸😆👏👍💫🌟💛 ☘️

Very interesting and helpful.
Thanks
What kind of temperature are we talking about in your garage?
I don't have much luck with thyme haven't figured out why yet!
Hi Donna! Do you grow Rosemary? if so do you have a video on harvesting, drying and some recipes? Thank you!
Hi Venita,
I grow a lot opf rosemary. I do not have a video on it yet, but I just snip it off whnever I need it. It lived year round for me when I lived in Florida. It is frost sensitive where I live now so I have to grow it indoors. Here is my recipe playlist:th-cam.com/video/4ojaAlh2KYw/w-d-xo.html
Thou look good sound really nice , and give good information , 🇬🇧👍😀
sound nice except for the erb :D
Thou?
After reading how hard it is from growing it from seed, if I manage to do it, will it flower in its first season?
Helping the pollinators is my priority over using thyme for cooking!
New sub here. Thanks Ms Donna. I'm new at herbs,food saver and dehydrating,canning/preserving.
awesome Tutorial pretty lady, thanks so much!
It is only the start of June, and my thyme is getting flowers. Because I want fresh thyme as long as possible, can I simply cut the flowers? Should I trim down most of the plant now?
Can you harvest and dry out Thyme at any time? Or do you have to wait a certain number of months/years?
Can u dry thyme on newspaper until it is dried
Can you possibly do a segment on basil, I'm having trouble with my boxwood basil
Absolutely. I was thinking of that this evening and will do it soon. Thanks for the question. :))
Also, make sure your basil is getting 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day and nitrogen (not too much).
Thanks for the vid! Can't read the multi-colored words at the beginning of vid.
Sorry about that
Hi...can you plz tell me how to harvest the seeds?thanks
Love your video,but it's very difficult to read it with all colors.
Yes, it was when I was learning how to edit videos.
Hi, can I use the flowers as well in my tea from Pitsa thyme?
love your video
I'm curious to know why you stored the reminder of the Thyme in the mason jar instead of de-stemming it?
Is there a benefit ? Thanks
+McCardie Clan I would normally destem it, but it is easier for me to put it all in the jar. I also think it retains more flavor leaving it on the stem. I destem it when I transfer it to smaller jars. If you have time, just go ahead and take it off the stems. :) I do not think there is a huge difference in flavor, provided you plan on using it within the year.
I guess I really wanted to know if it made a difference in the flavor or not cause I usually de-stem all of the herbs but I do not crush the leaves till I use them. I try to maintain as much flavor as possible, if you know what I mean.
Thank You for taking the time to answer my question~ blessings
Nice video,ty. However i couldnt read the beginning, to many colors and it all blends together.The colors are pretty but cant read your words.Have a blessed day.
I know, old video I guess, I don't use that kind of text anymore.
What happens if you live in a place that has winters? I'm in New York, do I need to bring the thyme plant inside from the garden during the winters or leave it in the ground and it will regrow in the spring?
Hi! Mine survives the winter, but I am not as far north as you. Some thyme plants cannot survive extremely cold winters. I suggest looking up the variety of thyme you are growing and then check to see if it is hardy in your zone. I am in zone 6b. You can find your zone on the Farmer's Almanac website.
Add a heavy layer (at least 3") of shredded mulch around the herb(s) and they will over-winter just fine
Just got lemon thyme yesterday but I was just trying to save a few dollars by picking the smaller of the two plants. Have you tried varieties of thyme flavoring.. Or would you say that its a waste of money to purchase genetically altered herbs?
Cross breeding of plants happens naturally in nature. Varieties are always changing, many times for the better. I love Lemon Thyme and use it in many recipes. You can search my channel under the playlist tab to check them out., However, I do not prefer lavender thyme, it has a soapy flavor.
Hi, she mentioned she has 4 varieties in her video..good luck.
Can you use the food saver attachment to do regular canning as well?
It's for dry goods.
Yes..I've seen videos on prepsteaders Christa Shwartz..I love her videos too
Thank you!
Thank you.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks this isa good video.
Can't read any of the words at the beginning of the video
Can't read a thing on opening.
👍👍♥️♥️🌱🌱
Good video but I found the script frustrating to read . Please consider a solid color like white and a plain script. And be sure that the colour of the script does not blend into the background
I was learning how to edit back then....
It’s impossible to read the text at the beginning.
Can't read it!
the text at the beginning IS NOT LEGIBLE
Sounds like a zoo with orangutans in background, very distracting
