Bring color and life to a plain lawn – or grow a fragrant bee-friendly ground cover.

While not native to North America, wild creeping thyme is well adapted to many climates without becoming invasive. This small, colorful wildflower does not compete well with taller, faster-growing vegetation, but it can grow and persist nicely within mowed lawns or as a ground cover in gravel areas and rock gardens.

Slow growing, long-lived, and sun-loving, this small highly drought-tolerant member of the mint family spreads slowly from tiny, woody stems. Without grass competition, it can eventually form a thick ground cover. Within grass, it tends to form smaller and more spread-out stems.

Like other thymes, this is a highly fragrant plant, with abundant small pink flowers that are extremely attractive to many species of bees, and quite a few butterflies (it’s actually one of the few eco-lawn or ground cover plants we know of that consistently attracts many butterflies).

Wild thyme is slow to germinate and start from seed, and can take several seasons before it puts on enough size to start flowering. Once established it is very well adapted to planters, rock gardens, and lawns – it can even be “encouraged” as a total lawn replacement by regular weeding out of grass clumps around it as it grows (we know of a few folks who did this over several years and have entire flowering front yards consisting of creeping thyme.

As a lawn plant or ground cover, creeping thyme is tolerant of light foot traffic, but on its own, it is not sturdy enough to withstand heavy play or pet trampling. To use it in a diverse “wild lawn” we recommend companion planting with various fine leaved fescues (e.g. sand, red, western, Molate, Roemer’s, Idaho, and hard fescues), prairie junegrass, seashore bentgrass, and other mowable low growing wildflowers (yaak yarrow, golden-eyed grass, self heal, and various clovers).

Wild thyme can be introduced into an existing lawn by first mowing the grass as low as possible (i.e. “scalping” it), then removing the clippings. Next a core aerator (which can be rented at many hardware stores) is used to create openings in the turf. Thyme (and other wildflower seeds) can then be over-seeded across the lawn.

Hardy from about zone 3 to 10, and very tolerant of poor soils.

Approximately 2000+ seeds (0.5 grams).

Well argued
Format: Paperback
Perhaps I should say at once that giving this slim but meaty volume five stars doesn't mean I personally agree with it. It has been many years since I have subscribed to the substitutionary theory of Jesus' death or the idea that the Bible is anything other than a record of human interfaces with the Unknown. But a review is not the place to argue such points at length. Also, it behooves people who want to think, to seek out alternate and even opposing points of view, in order to test and maybe revise their ideas. Jeremy Treat did not change my mind, but he might have if I held the same view he apparently does of Scripture. He argues well, clearly, and persuasively, and makes a Christianity grounded on this view look at least potentially like a pretty good basis for decent living. There are one or two points that troubled me a little. The concept that Jesus died for us as a community is sound in itself, but if carried to extremes looks very much like the idea that underlay the infamous religious wars and persecutions. Also, on page 86, Treat says: "Forgiveness is not merely dismissing a wrong. My wife and I teach our children that when someone apologizes to them, they should not respond by simply saying, 'It's okay' … To truly forgive, one acknowledges the wrongdoing but chooses to not hold it against the wrongdoer. Forgiveness is … accepting the penalty on behalf of the wrongdoer for the sake of the relationship. It is absorbing the pain yourself rather than seeking to put it back on the other person." Now, to me, this looks like such a clear recipe for Trouble that I very much wish Treat provided several examples for how, exactly, he sees it working in everyday life. Sometimes, as when the apology is a "Sorry" for inadvertently jostling you in a crowd, the simple "It's okay" seems to me by far the best response. These few possible danger points, however, should be understood in the context of the book as a whole, which gives me the very strong impression of a practical pastor who knows his stuff, makes things hang coherently together, and probably gives useful and comforting counsel. I'm guessing, by his book, that he is a man I'd enjoy talking with in person.

Great sink organizer!
Good quality storage/organizer for the kitchen sink. It’s stable and can hold an assortment of dish cleaning products close to the sink. It has a plastic dish underneath to collect drip-off water. This is exactly what I needed to organize!
