The reason I wanted to grow the thyme was that I made some really great jamaican beef patties several times now and wondered whether using fresh thyme would make them even tastier. :) I've gotten into a bit of a "hand pie" theme now and want to do jerk chicken and other varieties in one of my Sunday cooking blitzes.
It's good to know about hardiness. The 2 planters in the back yard are big cement ones that my parents used to use for flowers. I dug out the weeds and layered fresh potting soil on top and planted my herbs and the lone tomato plant in them and, since I can't bring them in, I hope to be able just cover/wrap the herbs and let them go.
Of course, I know basil is an annual but the lone rosemary plant should be ok (fingers crossed). I have to harvest the greek oregano soon though.
