| I planted about 30,000 Creeping Thyme Seeds - Mother purchased from outsidepride.com last month around my retaining wall in rocky well drained soil. I have weeded pretty well and I am left with many of these (see photo). Please tell me that is the Creeping Thyme Mother. If not I have failed at sowing from seed. |

| It is not Thyme. You have a crop of Portulaca oleracea aka purslane. A weed but an edible one. I hope you didn't weed out the thyme seedlings :( |
|
| You can use the purslane in salads, or boil it, or saute it. It's very nutritious, and our ancestors ate it. Thomas Jefferson had a recipe for it in his journal. |
