Anyways, my thyme experiment failed miserably. They were ok a week ago when I checked but when I was mowing today, they were all brown and shriveled up. I suppose it could be possible that they are dormant, but I doubt it. It could be the dryness lately, but they are supposed to do well in dry locations.

For what it’s worth, we planted oregano in the garden, not realizing it was a perennial so we transplanted it and it is spreading like crazy. Not the lowest of groundcovers, but pretty damn durable.
