Re: Herb garden help
Man, I envy you! My thyme plant is a goner sadly
Seems like it could not tolerate summer heat.

@MasonS. I don't know where you are or how hot you are talking about, but I'm not convinced it was heat that did your thyme in:
" In outdoor gardens, it's frequently used in xeriscaping or hot, dry locations where other plants have trouble thriving."

The herbs in the pictures look happy and flourishing.
That's not much info re the "white stuff." The flies buzzing around make me wonder if it is whiteflies that flutter away when you water. They can look just like powder or flecks. But the whiteflies, like aphids and a few other things, secrete a sweet sticky substance called honeydew, that attracts the flies.
Tell us more about what the white stuff looks like. Can you rub it off? is it powdery? How much of it is there?
