As always great seeds! A question: to avoid cross-pollination in the Thyme varieties: Orange, German, English, French, Greater Wild how far apart do you recommend growing them? I have plentiful little pollinators to keep happy but do not want the Thyme to cross if I choose to collect seeds so I’d like to keep them happy and me, too.
