I found some herbs in South Supermarket (Alabang) that come in small quantities. I like them because I usually cook just for two. They’re priced from PHP 3-7 per packet, depending on the herb. I don’t know who grows them but they really come in handy.

The thyme in the photo is T. vulgaris or what is otherwise referred to as common thyme. It has a woody stem that is characteristic in the second season in colder climates. Frankly, it isn’t bad. It isn’t as aromatic as the thymes you get in colder countries but I find the temperature and soil affects all western herbs here…ergo sweet basil here is more like grass when made into pesto… or chives appear sharper, etc. If we grew pandan, tanglad, etc. in Norway or Alaska I am sure it would have subtle differences too…

Thanks for the info. What variety of thyme do they grow in Tagaytay? Just sent a packet of thyme seeds to a friend for his friend who runs a resto in Manila and who wants to grow his own, the variety he gets in Manila not producing the aroma to his liking. This resto owner was looking for the Jamaican variety and I’m afraid the seeds I sent may not be the right one either. Will appreciate it very much if you can tell me the variety you got so I can advise this friend where to get his precious thyme. Virgilio
