tuxedo -- Lemon thyme is one of those herbs that doesn't always produce true from seed -- ie, it's possible to grow lemon thyme from seed, but its not at all uncommon for the seedlings to show a great deal of variation from the original plant. Most lemon thyme is propagated vegetatively -- usually by root division.

those jiffy peat pots are notorious for containing active cobweb mold spores just waiting to get wet to start colonizing the pellet. Take some H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) and mix it with water at a ratio of about 3 parts H20 to 1 part H2O2 and give the mold a couple direct shots. You'll want to mix this up fresh every time because H2O2 breaks down into water when exposed to light - now you know why the bottles are always brown... ;-p As a fungus, cobweb mold is a very fast colonizer and will "lock-up" a substrate (your peat moss) in no time flat and your plants are literally drowning inside the moldy peat moss because the gas exchange has come to a standstill inside your little pots. --- If you're plants down bounce back after that you'll have to either chaulk them up as a lost cause or - if you're really dedicated - you break them out of hte pots, remove as much "dirt" as you can from their roots and dip their roots directly in full-strength H2O2 and then planting them in a new medium. But unless you're dealing with some really exotic plant that's a real pain to germinate from seed (i.e. gerbera daisies) I wouldn't go through the hassle. Considering seeds are only a couple dollars each, you have to weight the effort .vs. the opportunity cost of just starting over. <shrug> I should go back to school for mycology, heh.

I would say the same as Breasley. An Asian market or specialty shop of sorts. If you can't find it I'll be happy to send you some. Please let me know. I live in a very diverse area and have Asian markets and Indian markets everywhere. And also, most of our supermarkets carry a wide range of ethnic foods and I tend to forget that not every town in America carries all of these products that I take for granted.

Wayfair had them, but sorry to say they’re out of stock. Maybe you could contact them to see if they’ll ever be carrying it again? https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/orren-ellis-tangires-curve-foot-end-table-w001603593.html ETA: I looked further and saw some other sites that had them, but every single one is out of stock/no longer available.
