Oregano is Made For Kitchen Herb Gardens

Friday May 9, 2008

If you are hesitant about growing kitchen herbs that you will actually use, oregano might just be the herb for you. Its familiar scent and well loved taste, makes it a family favorite.

I am enjoying the comments and emails! Thank you for the feedback. I am working my way down my own personal list of herbs. Is there any herb you would like to see featured? I would love to hear from you!

There is nothing better than chives, fresh from the garden in the spring.

You are right, Jim. Isn’t this the best time of year? I just love needing an herb (or veggie for that matter) and being able to just go outside and pick it myself.

Thanks for posting!

Amy, thanks for a great newsletter. I have to do most of my herb gardening in pots so as you’re exploring various herbs please mention if you think they’re good for potting.
Thanks, Mike

Will do, Mike! Still trying to pretty the newsletter up.
Oregano is a top pick for pots. It loves to be pinched back-makes it really thick with leaves. It is easy care too. I haven’t found many insects that bother it.
