The lemon thyme is smelling fantastic



In herb garden 1 we have planted lemon thyme. This has the most wonderful smell when the leaves are rubbed. It can be used in cooking and is especially good with fish and chicken. It can also be added to boiling water to make a soothing tea. We also have thyme growing in the same little herb garden. This has a much stronger flavor. It tastes great with tomatoes and is traditionally used in a bouquet garni in soups and stews. The other ingredients used in bouquet garni are parsley and bay leaf.
