If it ain't broke, why fix it?

MIne gets sun from the rise to about 2-3 pM too. Its fine where it is. I dislike any kind of 'mixed' thyme. Gibe me the real thing and I am fine. 'Pizza' thyme, may be actually oregano, so you need to know the true differences.

Hmm....It says pizza thyme, but who knows? LOL!!! Its ok, whatever it it, I like the smell of it! -cass

There is a species of thyme which has a flavour and aroma reminiscent of oregano+thyme. It is often sold as 'pizza thyme' for that reason.

You can get all sorts of thyme - lemon thyme, orange thyme, caraway thyme (that's one to try if you can find it).....

Just like basil, which comes in many flavour-variations (lemon, cinnamon, lime, Thai basil, holy basil, spicy basil.....).

I'm with the folks who say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." It's true that herbs like lots of sun, but not everyone has a garden that's sunny from dawn to dusk, but the herbs will often do just fine anyway.

Places like Kmart and Walmart might offer 'buyer friendly' plant names. There is really no such herb named pizza thyme. Here are may exaples from Richters:

Thyme, Compact Thyme, French Thyme, Silver
Thyme, Lemon Carpet Thyme, Creeping Lemon Thyme, Lemon
Thyme, Doone Valley Lemon Thyme, Golden Lemon Thyme, Goldstream Lemon
Thyme, Highland Cream Lemon Thyme, Purple Carpet Lemon Thyme, Creeping
Thyme, Lavender Thyme, Lime Thyme, Mint
Thyme, Minus Thyme, Nutmeg Thyme, Orange Balsam
Thyme, Orange Spice Thyme, Oregano Thyme, Portuguese
Thyme, Rose Petal Thyme, Wild Thyme, Woolly
Thyme, Broadleaf

mmmmmmmmmm...Pizza

Oooo...spicy basil...that sounds good! I want some Orange Thyme too! =)

TN :P no worries at all!!! Take your time, seriously!!!!!
Im new to growing herbs, so whatever semlls the best I grab. Im loving walking around smelling everything, picking leaves and showing veryone how nice they smell LOL!!! -cass

Ditto what people are saying, if the herb is happy, let it be. The growing conditions stated for most herbs are optimal conditions. Many herbs can grow and do well in less than optimal conditions. Perhaps they won't grow AS large, but sometimes that is a good thing. I have a thyme called "rose petal thyme" that is wonderful. Also, lemon thyme, lime thyme, nutmeg thyme, caraway thyme, juniper thyme, French thyme, English thyme, orange spice thyme, lavender thyme, Peter Davis, Quint, oregano thyme, Hall's woolly thyme and several more. All different and all wonderful.
