My thyme plant had blossomed 2 weeks earlier with dozens of tiny white flowers. After the brief flowering, the plant quickly dried out, it's life cycle thus completed. It always amazes me how quickly a plant can expire after reproduction. One moment it's filled to the brim and within a week, it's transformed into a dried out husk. Harvesting the thyme was a simple affair. I slipped the base of the thyme branches between my fingers and gently sweeped upwards, towards the branch tips. The dried herbs came off crisply and fell into a bowl I had placed under the herb pot. In any case, some 3 ounces of dried thyme were thus collected, enough for several months of consumption.
