THYME
Great durable plants used in walkways between flagstone,
rock gardens, drooping over containers, and a companion plant
for those stonecrop planters we discussed before. They prefer
well drain soil and flowers profusely, even the culinary
varieties. They contain "thymol" which is a disinfectant,
antiviral and antibacterial. Used in bath bags or herbal
facials it is stimulating and antiseptic. Historically used to
treat shingles sore throats, coughs and rheumatism. Used in
folk lore, place a sprig beneath your pillow to ensure dream
free sleep or burn as incense or wear to attract good
