Growing oregano

2/ When growing oregano make sure the herb does not dry out however do not allow the soil to become water-logged. If you choose to grow oregano in a container sow the oregano seeds in March in a small pot then transplant into a 30 cm pot during May.
3/ The leaves of oregano should be harvested during July or just before the flowers appear.
When planting oregano always remember to refer to the instructions on the seed packets!
