Greek Oregano - vulgare var. hirtum

Disappointing!!
I love that in a pot for the patio though Few!

VC - if that was supported would it be any better do you think?

Supported? Possibly but all the marjorams and oregano are becoming straggly now. I've been cutting them back and I wouldn't put any of the stems in a vase.

Whoops - sorry . It’s not Greek oregano - it’s green basil!
I’m definitely losing it!

I tried looking for seeds and all I could find was that Aristotle saw tortoises that had eaten a snake then eating oregano as, he assumed, an antidote to the poison.

Actually - the stems are much longer - loads are two feet long. 
I can save seed, Scarlet ……..,

I love the look of it! I think if I grew it through some nets it would be fabulous.

I've nothing to pick at the moment except dahlias, sedum - which has all been pretty much beheade and the odd scabious and statice. I definitely need some research on late flowering plants. Something that maybe I could put in some spaces mid summer.

I assume you’ve got loads of self down linaria (purple toadflax)?
And my oregano isn’t supported it’s pretty tough strong stemmed stuff. Just going out to pick a quick bunch of something because I’ve got a friend coming for “coffee” which probably means wine!

No... I lost all my toadflax!... please could you save seed if you can  ....When weeding if I haven't saved seed...the lot gets flattened

I've just been to see if my bee balm lambada has set seed.... nearly there I think

Yes will do - got loads …. Pops up all over the place.

Quick bunch showing how useful the oregano is for foliage!
Also the toadflax - been ripping it out all summer!

I use oregano as a filler. It doesn’t work well when it’s been raining a lot . Heads are to heavy then and droop.

^^^ that would have been no problem for me this year!

I love the look of it.... and that cat is stunning.
