You can’t have Italian-style food without oregano, so why not grow this easy-going perennial herb in your flower, herb or veg garden? Plant it along walkways where the distinctive, herby smell will be released when people brush against it, use it as ground cover plant in flower gardens, grow it in pots or window boxes, or as part of your herb garden. Fresh or dried, the leaves add an appetizing aroma to food.
You can sow oregno where it is to grow, but it’s easiest in containers. Just cover the seeds with growing medium and keep the moist till they come up. A piece of cling wrap over the container keeps your seeds moist for days.
How to Harvest
Simply pick sprigs of oregano as needed. The tender tips are usually the nicest. IF you would like to dry some, spread cut shoots on a clean surface out of direct sun and package when dry but still green in colour.
