What you’re planting, and where
Overseeding uses half the seed of a new planting, because you’re filling in around plants that are already there.

What to expect after sowing
Thyme is slow to start, and it is meant to be. Year one puts roots down with little to show above ground — keep it weeded. Year two the plants spread and knit together, and you get the first real bloom. By year three it is a dense mat that crowds weeds out on its own.
