I have to say, I really like this style of video. Not just showing you how to grow something, but offering some unique ideas on how to use it too.

"Thyme can help combat stress and anxiety." Welp, thyme to plant my entire yard with the magical herb.

I used thyme infused honey when I was sick with a cold. Shockingly good stuff.

[honeymatchalatte]

Okay, but those 3 recipes were so well thought out and SO GOOD! Now I need to try growing thyme this year :D

[cheriekalel]

Please keep doing videos on using what we grow, especially the herbs! I LOVED Ana showing us these recipes! I have Greek Oregano in abundance and would like to know new ways of using it.

[LunnaLJR]

I love how Ana explains things! Keeps it simple and straight forward.

LOL!!! My name is Kevin!!! If this doesn’t work, I don’t know what will. What a superbly creative move! Love it. RIP Eric indeed😂

I cracked up seeing “RIP Eric” on the back of the shirt! I was not expecting that! lol! So funny!

[GoingGreenMom]

Love this! Can we work our way through Ana's whole herbals cabinet with the growing and harvesting instructions and the how to use tutorials? Definite goals here. :)

We love thyme at our house, and cook with it often. Its essential in Caribbean cooking. A coconut milk/veggie stew, with thyme, scallions, and chili peppers is one of my all time favorite foods. It grows easy, and has some pesticide benefits as well.

I love, Love, LOVE Ana and her medicinals!!! You could have an entire channel of just her videos. I feel this herbal knowledge is going to be EXTREMELY important in our future. PLEASE, more Ana!!

Beautifully produced show - watched it all of the way through. Would be great to have more growing / cooking / medicinal combos!!

[DontDoDaylight]

My first ever Thyme just germinated TODAY! Thank you for this! So glad to see your success!

[tyler]

Thank you for this! I want to see a video about Lemon Balm and some other herbs.

North Montana girlie here, I grow thyme in my kitchen windowsill during our harsh winters with no problems. 😊👍

[MainstreetMarvels]

This episode is so helpful. You can find videos of growing herbs and you can find videos on how to use them but sometimes we don’t have the time to go look for them. Having all this info together in one video is so helpful to your followers. Please make more of these!!!

[jakefrechette]

"This isn't gonna light on fire; its.. its in water." got a good chuckle out of me. Love these recipes! Can't wait to stock up on dried ingredients for putting together some oils in the fall.

Eating local honey during the year builds up resistance to seasonal allergies. Thanks for the tips and video. Pops are on my to do list. Thanks for the tutorial Ana.

A delicious way of using Thyme is in a gnocchi fried with butter, thyme and rosemary. Delicious recipe!
