Time is a nice herb that can be easily cultivated in herb garden. Today it is mainly known as a herb for cooking, but it was frequently used as "herb for covering the ground" when used to make lawn and beautiful flowers in England's Queen Victoria It was. There are gardens that smell when scented white, pink and yellow flowers are blooming.
If you are accustomed to the troublesome things of the time, you can sit on the Times lawn on evening evening, smoke the sunset, and have to be adapted to absorb that wonderful characteristic herb scent You can imagine. Well, why do you imagine that? It is not a major project for planting your summer lawn but we will never forget the pleasure we give you during the summer.
In this article, I am going to provide all the information you need to create the lawn from the herbal time of cooking. We will walk through the next four steps.
1. Choose the appropriate various times
2. Please select the appropriate location and conditions for your herbal lawn
Plant your time (And grow it from seed)
4. Look at your lawn of herbs
Time variety
There are various types in the timeline (350 in the last count!). All this can be used for cooking. However, in order to create a lawn we need to purchase and grow things timely. As the name implies, these varieties survive even in the fairly cold winter, spreading to form a "carpet" of flourishing plants every year (time is a perennial herb).
In June and July, your time grass will not only give off a fragrant familiar scent, but it will be covered with most of the small flowers. That color depends on the various times you choose.
Lemon frost is a rapidly growing variety with round leaves and a wonderful lemon scent. Ideal for covering large terrain. Dune Valley Time has diverse leaves and pink flowers. There are pink flowers at the pink lemonade time. Golden lemon time has small golden leaves.
Look for specialty herbal suppliers such as California's Mountain Valley Growers (selling over 50 different times) using the Internet. However, if you want to shop locally, you can easily find the one suitable for your local garden.
Choose the right place
Make some plans to make sure you create herbal lawn in the best place possible in your garden.
- Choose a location that is totally exposed to the sun and choose a place with light soil drained well
- Remove all the leaves and the weeds on the surface of the ground and use weed killers to harm the weeds with deep roots ("double dig" the soil and manually remove all traces) When there is no)
Dig into compost and fertilizer if soil has no humus
- Finish the soil to a firm level (if necessary, tighten the head of your rake).
You plant your time grass
You can buy herbal plants, or you can grow your time plant from seed. I covered both options below:
Buy time plant
- Measure the area of your lawn. About 20 plants are needed in every square
- Include a distance of about 20 cm between each plant, transfer your time from the bowl or tray they are in
- Pour water well and stop walking the lawn for about a month.
Cultivate plants from seeds
- sow your time seed in the fall
- Purchase seed tray in compartment and use potless compost without soil
- Sow 2 or 3 seeds in each compartment
- Keep the seed tray moist and warm, but keep it in a place not exposed to direct sunlight
- I expect your seeds to germinate in about a week
- Transplant to a small pot (2/3 inch) when it is about 2 inches high
- Plant the lawn when your potted plants grew to 3-4 inches.
Look at your lawn
You do not have to worry too much about your lawn. Unlike the grass lawn, it never needs to be cut.
- Reap common weeds regularly
- If a naked patch appears (unfortunately), rooted leaves propagated from other cultivated plants
- Please do not allow your lawn to become water.
Other ways to use time around the garden
We strongly encourage you to plant time grass for the absolute pleasure you have, but you may have trouble and cost. However, there are other ways that you can use time in your garden, which does not require much work:
- Botanical patches of time during the stepping stone
- Create a time patch on a sunny bank around your garden
- Let's make fragrant rich timeless treshest under the garden seat.
Regardless of what you do, you will not regret using time as a plant covering the ground. Also I do not describe any creative possibilities you may explore. If your ground cover herbs want more kinds to mix your time plant with other aromatic ground cover herbs such as penny royal and chamomile. Take the time to research these ways and other possible ways to use herbs of well-known cooking in various areas of your garden.
