Thyme and Thyme again

[horticultural_hobbit]

Earlier this year, I had sown some thyme from seed in a pot, and it lives outside. It was harvested and used. All that remains in the pot, is some stubble of that harvested, and few bits that I missed. I've now put the pot into my four tiered blowaway in the hope that it will start again next year. Is that likely? I'm not sure of the exact type of thyme.

Thme is fairly hardy, mine is planted out and is fine

It us pretty hardy but some herbs start dying back in some shape or form around now. I find thyme one of them. When I went to Jekkas herbs she performed the Chelsea Chop on some of her's for Autumn. This is what I have done to mine that look straggly and they are pushing up new growth. They are all, with the exception of basil, overwintering now in my greenhouse.

I have some planted in the garden and it is chopped back several times a year and it is fine

But surely it's colder here Roitelet, non?!
I'm only jealous, would live to be en France

Sage cuttings

Pop's has a well established sage plant in the garden. Lovely and leafy. Am thinking of taking a cutting, incubating, and then trasnplanting to the 'lotment. How do I take the cutting? There was a bit in the mag a month or so ago, and I'm
Sure Tis in the allotment source book. Ill have a look, but any suggestions?

No, we have very low temperatures, -19 is not unusual and they rocket in the summer. Some of the things I used to grow in the UK just curl up their toes and die

You need what's called a heel off the plant but summer was really the time for this.

No reason it won't.
May I applaud your Thread Title, one for Title of The Year, if we had such a thing.
