The rosemary failed
to transition indoors.
The sage droops
in a soggy mess.
The cilantro vanished
with the first frost.
Ah, but the thyme.
Thyme a scrappy fighter,
standing firm to face
the onslaught of winter.
Tough Thyme

I like that: ‘Thyme a scrappy fighter’ —
Thanks John.
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme out of the song Scarborough Fair – Thyme is the bravest
Most certainly (we only grow cilantro 😉) Thanks for your reference.
Great pun. I love your spicy direct language! I had occasion to get fresh thyme to make vegetable stock. It was like adding miniature tree branches to the broth. A hearty herb indeed.
Natural bonsai for sure!
Nice one … and mint… don’t bet me started! 🤣💗
Wait till I start posting from the garden this spring!!!
hahahhahhahaha oh yes.. can you tell i haven’t been in my garden. I thought it never leaves.
