White Yarrow is a perennial herb with upright stems, feathery divided leaves, and flat clusters of small white flowers; it plays an important ecological role as a nectar and pollen source for insects, improves soil stability with its deep roots, and has long been valued in medicine for its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and digestive-supporting properties.
Wild thyme is a low-growing, creeping aromatic plant with tiny oval leaves and purple-pink flower clusters; it provides excellent nectar for bees and butterflies, stabilizes soil in dry meadows and rocky areas, and is traditionally used as both a culinary and medicinal herb, especially for soothing coughs, aiding digestion, and harnessing its antimicrobial effects.

The thymus plays a role in the immune system of young people and many thought it to be useless for adults. New research points, however, in the direction that it fulfils different protective roles and that people whose thymus is removed have a greater risk of premature death in general and a much higher risk of developing cancer in particular.

Dear friends of thyme and time and ​​,

#Thymus caborn #wine-and-roses needs full sun has flowers and likes well drained but poor soil. It is drought resistant. May grow it indoors for now ... I also have a Strawberry mint for #Wimbledon Wombles.

So far only two strawberry flowers from my gay strawberries. I planted them in bright pink pots so they would be gay. Nurture plus nature. ​​

My LGBT strawberries were a real adventure last year. If mixed with pepper and strawberry mint, berries will make an excellent smoothie or just fruit #salad ... Apparently, Strawberry Mint is quite a delicate #mint (also available as a Linux) should start pink #flowering and attracting #bees in July. 🎉
