Six months with Oregano — what I actually learned

I brought Oregano home six months ago with high hopes and almost no knowledge. The first challenge was understanding harvesting regularly to prevent plants going to seed — something I hadn't expected to matter so much. Once I got that right, the whole thing settled down.

I grow it in an ornamental potager kitchen garden and the position has been ideal. fast growing from seed or small plug plant is what keeps drawing me back to it. sowing and planting out after last frost in spring was the moment that made me glad I persisted through the learning curve. One honest warning: powdery mildew on basil in cool damp conditions caught me off guard in month two. Stay on top of it from the start.
