The great oregano extravaganza (or is it marjoram?)


I have a herb growing in the garden that’s either oregano or marjoram and it’s going gang busters. Last winter when it all died down, I really missed having herbs out of the garden for cooking. So, this season I decided to do something about it & harvest it for drying & keeping. I thought I’d make my own blend of “mixed herbs” by adding thyme and some other herbs as well as maybe some chives and walking onions.

I attacked the unlabelled bush with the secateurs but didn’t realise just how much was there until it completely filled the sink when I tried to wash it.

I spent the rest of the morning sorting through it; bundling it and hanging it on the clothes line to dry the water off before pegging it on the clothes rack. When that was done, I turned to Professor Google to try to figure out which herb it might actually be but it seems I need to wait until it flowers.



So, any ideas for what I can do with this much oregano/marjoram?

  1. Give the herbs to your friends (or sell them at the local market...)

    But I'd just cook with them. ;)
