Herb of the Week – Oregano
Oregano is SO easy to grow, its a perennial, it seems to be anti-critter, and it’s fabulous in foods — dried or fresh. I read that sometimes oregano doesn’t survive winter months in cold climates, but our oregano has survived during ‘rough’ winters like in 2009/2010/2011 in NJ.
I grow oregano in a large pot on my back deck, but I actually planted it before I realized it was already planted in the garden in a huge patch. Oh well, I have LOTS of oregano now!
A good way to dry it is to gather some stems / leaves into a bundle, tie with string and hang upside down. Â Once dry, you can rub the bundle between your hands and flakes of deliciousness will fall into your food!
