Welcome! I am a stay at home mum of two gorgeous boys, proud owner of an online handmade store and an avid gardener. This blog records most of my gardening journey over a few properties. We have recently moved to a new permanent property and it's time to start gardening again! I enjoy time-out in my home garden looking at and photographing birds, insects and plants. It is also a haven for my sons and golden retriever. May you enjoy your visits here. :)

I did respond to your comment about drying thyme on my blog but I thought I'd post it here as well. :)
You most certainly may dry them in a low temperature oven (no higher then 145 degrees. You don't want them to fry or burn. :)) but I might dry them and then take the leaves off the stems, it might be easier since after they are dried you can just rub them (stems and leaves) between your palms and they should separate. Then store them in an air-tight container in a dry place ... you could also freeze them to keep them. That's just my opinion, if you think it would work better the other way give it a shot!
If your oven does not go lower then 145 degrees try laying them flat on a cooling rack, turning them or moving them around occasionally to increase air circulation, but this route may take several days.
Thanks for the lovely comment. And yes, my thyme always comes back rather abundantly when I cut it as well! By the way, it's always fun to meet new "sisters" Christ!
