Growing Oregano

How to grow Oregano

Oregano growing is easy in your garden. Planting Oregano will give you a flatter plant with smaller leaves often times called a ground cover. Being in the mint family growing oregano can take over your garden. It is best to grow it in a container. You want to give the plant a few weeks to get established. Once the leaves have started into a small bush, you may pick 25% of the plant. When picking oregano make sure to only harvest the leaves and not the stems unless the plant has become invasive. After no time you will be the hit in kitchen with this fresh herb!
