Plants can surprise you. Last year I planted a little oregano plant. It did well and we enjoyed fresh oregano all summer long.Oregano is a perennial (something I learned after planting it) but I didn't expect this delicate looking herb to survive the winter...hah!
This hardy plant survived freezing temperatures plus several feet of snow! You can see in the photo that it's now spreading out across the garden. That's a lot of oregano. I'll have to harvest much of it to make room for the rest of this year's crops.
What to do with all that oregano? We'll use some now and dry more for future use. For the rest...I hope my neighbors like fresh oregano.
