Summer savoury (herb plants) (Hatfield AL10)

Some young summer savoury plants. I sowed seed in spring and as ever, I ended up with far too many plants.

It's one of my favourite herbs - a good substitute for thyme, but (for me) much easier to grow and maybe even better flavour. Incredibly savoury and goes very well with other savoury things like meat and fish - I suppose the clue's in the name.

Ideally wants the same sort of hot well drained conditions that woody Mediterannean herbs like thyme want, but for me survives much better when it doesn't get it (i.e. in miserable cold wet winters in my sticky clay). There is "summer savoury" and "winter savoury", and this is summer savoury which supposedly does not survive the winter, but I am confused because mine has lasted for years. You have been warned.

At any rate, it these will definitely be fine for the rest of the year. Plant or keep in pots.

As a bonus, it has masses of small pretty white flowers right now, which are very good for bees and other pollinators.
