October 11, 2012 Started a Harvest 360 with thyme. I'm going to limit this one to five thyme pods. The one in the middle is a couple of years old, so it may not germinate.  |

November 14, 2022 One month update. Today I changed the water, trimmed a few inches off the top and added nutrients. A few pods didn't germinate. I'll request some replacements.  animationresources.org/stuff/111422thyme.jpg |

How old were your pods, bigshot? Even the ones that germinated seem to have been growing very slowly. I wish that the Harvests had stronger lights!  |

I ordered all but one just before I started the gardens. Basil almost always germinates. I have a little more problem with thyme and even more with rosemary. I gave them five weeks. AeroGarden is sending me replacements for them.

December 1, 2022 The thyme is doing well. All the replacement pods are germinating too. I'll have a nice bushy thyme garden soon.  |

December 29, 2022 11 weeks in. The thyme is doing well. The small ones are catching up. It'll get a trim this weekend.  |

Gorgeous thyme, nice photo! The reflective film seems to be very effective!  |

April 25, 2023 Overall the time is doing good, but the front right pod was turning a bit brown, so I trimmed a bunch of it off so it is easier to get to the water opening.  |

bigshot, what method do you use for removing thyme leaves?

I'm lazy! I just cut off whole stems. When I use them cooking, I either tie them up in a bundle with string, or I fish them out. I mostly use them to make soup stock, so it's easy to strain them out.
I've been considering making an herb stock where I empty the freezer full of herbs into a small pot with some chicken stock and simmer everything down. Then I could make super concentrated herb infusion ice cubes that I can use in cooking. That's an idea I just made up. Maybe it actually is a cooking technique. I don't know. I haven't tried it yet, but I think it should work.
