Oregano is a must have herb for any garden

The culinary herb oregano is one of the most versatile. Oregano should definitely be in your herb garden, if not your cutting garden, because it’s great in everything from Italian pasta to Mexican dishes to Greek cuisine.

White, pink, and purple blooms adorn this Mediterranean native. While oregano isn’t normally allowed to flower when used in cooking, the developing leaf can be utilized as a filler in summer bouquets if any of your plants bloom. Is there a sandy spot in your yard that won’t grow grass? Try sowing oregano seed, a hardy herb that will quickly establish itself as a fragrant ground cover. Brassicas and beans benefit greatly from the presence of oregano. In addition to functioning as a natural pest deterrent, oregano attracts native pollinators and beneficial insects.

How to plant oregano seeds indoors and then transplant seedlings to your garden?

Oregano seeds should be planted indoors at least six weeks before the last frost date, or direct-sown after the last frost date. Once the seedlings have developed strong taproots, transplant them outside, spacing them 20 to 30 cm apart. Direct sowing seedlings at the same spacing outside. Pinching oregano seedlings and clipping off the tops is a method you’ll want to do once they’ve grown to be at least 10 cm tall. Plants are encouraged to branch out when pinched, resulting in a greater summer yield. The plant’s most delicious leaves appear immediately before it blooms, so cut emerging stems to keep the plant producing quality leaves.

how to encourage long-lasting oregano growth?

Fresh oregano leaves can be picked as desired from oregano plants kept near the kitchen. To ensure that your oregano continues to produce, trim the stems at least 15 cm tall, cutting above a node (or clump of flowering leaves). Bunch the stems together and hang upside down to dry for a few weeks in a cool, dry location. Oregano leaves retain their flavor when dried, making it a handy spice to have on hand.

Grow oregano for its therapeutic advantages as well as great taste

In addition to being a popular culinary herb, oregano has therapeutic properties. Oregano essential oil can be used orally or applied topically. Oregano is an anti-inflammatory plant that can aid in the relief of joint pain. The herb has antibacterial and antiviral effects as well. If the flavor isn’t enough to convince you to grow oregano this year, perhaps the medicinal advantages will. If nothing else, plant this deer-resistant perennial to protect your other garden plants!

When to Plant Oregano Seeds?

Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of the season or sow directly into the garden after the last frost of the season.

Where to Plant Oregano Seeds?

Oregano thrives in drier, sandier soils that are well drained with access to full sun (6-8 hours of sun per day). Oregano does poorly in very acidic soils, and prefers a pH range of 6.8-7.8.

How to Plant Oregano Seeds?

Oregano seeds require light to germinate, so be careful not to cover them when planting.

When started indoors, transplant into the garden 20 -30 cm apart. When grown outdoors from seed, spread seeds via broadcasting. Avoid covering seed in soil deeper than 1 cm, as sunlight is needed to germinate. Keep the soil moist, but not wet, during the germination process. As seedlings come up, thin out plants until they are 20 -30 cm apart.

How to Harvest Oregano?

Oregano leaves can be harvested during the entire growing season, but are at their most flavorful when harvested right before the plant blooms. Cut leaves can be used fresh or they can be hung to dry in a cool, dry place such as a garage. To increase the yield of a given plant, trim the blooms before flowering to encourage leaf growth.

Oregano patchs are biodegradeable and contain no harmful chemicals.
