Thyme

[Poison Ivy]

This is my first post, can you tell me what to do with my Thyme bush, it is about 4 years old and is very big and woody, there always seems to be flowers on it, should I cut it right back to virtually nothing?

Its normal lifespan is about 5 years. I would cut it back to soil level and let it regrow. You should get 3 or 4 more years by doing this. Take cuttings now just to be safe.
