Here in lower 7A, the Thyme that was so doing so well last summer has of
course gone brown with the fall.

Any suggestions on how this should be wintered so that we can enjoy fresh
herbs next spring and summer?

FACE awaiting jokes on setting it back 1 hour on the last Saturday in
October.

Thymus vulgaris should be fully hardy to zone 4 and over winter with ease in
zone 7. It is also evergreen. Where/how did you have this planted?

That puts a different light on the situation.
It might be that it is planted in a non-draining pot and that has caught up
with it.
(Planted in a pot on the patio, 1/2 sun.)

Ten minutes later......

Wife planted it. I just read the tag.
It has just been replanted in a draining pot.
