Lemon Thyme

This is a fantastic herb for flavouring fish. It also goes well in chicken stuffing.

>**Lemon Thyme** (Thymus x citriodorus). This ‘dry’ herb thrives in dry, exposed, sunny spots in very well drained limey soil. Needs little fertilising. Perennial to 20cm high x 40cm wide. Pink flowers in Spring. Prune back to 10cm high in Summer for a healthier plant.

We ended up using lemon thyme quite a bit in fish and chicken dishes. It was also nice on baked potatoes.
