Creeping Thyme

[mlk84]

Hello Everyone,
I recently bought some creeping thyme seeds on EBay and was extremely excited to get them growing. The seeds are growing, but is this really creeping thyme? What is this? It looks more like oregano me. Please see picture below. I really wanted the creeping thyme to cover an area around my driveway, but is this what creeping thyme really looks like at its early stages. I bought a starter plant of creeping thyme and the leaves are much much much smaller. Please let me know. I appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, you are right in that that isn't Creeping Thyme. It's not. In fact, not any type of thyme. It does look like an oregano or marjoram, which you'll be able to tell just by picking & crushing a leaf.
