  • Pinch of salt, pepper, chili powder

Fresh Herb Harvest:

To harvest, avoid cutting the stem at its base and pick the amount of thyme you need. You can use small garden shears or scissors to trim off about 1/3 of the oldest, woodiest part of the plant.

Try to avoid trimming the new growth. Trimming too much at one time will leave the plant bare and it can slow its growth and production.

When choosing which stems to harvest, try and find stems that will leave 3-4 inches of growth behind. This will encourage more fresh growth of your plant.
