At the weekend, I hit another couple of garden centres (Atlantic in Blanch and one on the N3)  and came away with a big pot and oregano seeds. I have two big outdoor pots now I can transplant into outside. The only problem is transporting the compost for the big pots to the apartment. I brought up 100 litres at the weekend only to have pointed out at the apartment that I had bought soil enricher by mistake. Hopefully I can work a half and half mixture with the compost when it comes down to it.

I don’t like oregano much as I think it makes everything taste like pizza. One thing I do hear time and time again is that it is better dried so it might make for an interesting herb drying challenge. I think it might be nice to have a bunch of oregano drying on the dresser in the kitchen though there are probably shedding and mould issues I haven’t considered. One thing of note is that the oregano seeds were very small. I put in a tiny amount in a pot which may have been about 50-100 seeds for all I know. I wanted to put in about 10 seeds but I couldn’t psychologically trust that that many seeds would do they trick. Hey if I don’t make these mistakes I will never learn right?

Before thinning, lettuce on left (I think, hope!)
