For the most medicine, when is it best to harvest thyme? And are the flowers as medicinal as the leaves?
Secondly, my thyme seems to be the first in my garden to flower. Does thyme bolt from not getting enough water or something?
I live in a very dry climate and would appreciate any tips on growing thyme. Thank you:)

The flowers aren’t much good. Harvest thyme shortly before flowering for highest potency. Harvest it in the late morning after the dew is dry but before things get too hot. That’s when the essential oil content will be highest. If you snip right above a leave node, it’ll grow back better.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
