Peaceful Valley German Winter Thyme
Best hardy herb for home cooks in colder climates.
This is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it herb for any garden. It is incredibly tough, shrugging off frost and drought while actively repelling pests, though its compact size means you will need to plant a few extra if you want a truly massive harvest for your kitchen.
