when should thyme be picked? and how?
Answers:
you can cut bits of it whenever you need it.
You can two major harvesting a couple of times in the growing season. At least once a year, you should cut it back by 2/3 to rejuvinate it. Otherwise, it'll get woody and leggy.

When it's thyme to be picked, timing is everything.
Depending on the variety you're growing,
the coloration is really the best indicator.
As it reaches the end of it's growing cycle,
it will gradually become more and more dehydrated.
This is also a good indicator for prime thyme harvesting.
Thyme should be hand picked, carefully selecting only the choicest, richest leaves.
