I wish I could remember which one it is. I have a bad habit of seeing thyme at the nursery and bringing it home and plunking it in somewhere. It may be lemon, orange, red, or wooly, or some other variety I've forgotten.

Yea, thyme really is easiest from plants.

Thistle, I bet your collection of different thymes is impressive! Some are hard to tell apart!

Hmmm... so you have wire mesh, weed barrier and rubber mulch? No soil in that area? I think it's unlikely that you'll get your thyme to take. I think starting them first in pots would be the best bet at any rate no matter where you end up putting them.
Great idea. I've thought about planting thyme in between my cement, too. I have grass and weeds that bug me there, now.
