Oregano

The oregano is coming back too after its winter rest.
Right now it is up about 6 inches, and as it grows I will be able to harvest stems. I cut stems when they get to be about 12 inches long, tie them into a bundle and hang them in the kitchen window. It takes about 2 weeks for the leaves to dry. Then I strip the stems, put the dry leaves in a jar, and use oregano in everything. Well, maybe not everything, but I do use it a lot.
Oregano is so easy to grow, and the deer pretty much leave it alone. I have tons of it growing, so if you want a clump to plant in your garden, just let me know. Or wait another month and you can come over and cut some to dry in your kitchen window.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
