Lovely morning here ... been hanging around waiting to take the youngest to school so out on the patio ... love the smaller tree / shrub in this ... no idea what it is but the weird foliage is pretty neat ...

We keep the 2 types of mint, lemon balm and oregano in an old Belfast sink, 2 old dolly tubs and an old lead tank we took out of the loft from our first house, keeps them controlled and looks decent too.

The oregano is a bit like that, can't cut enough of it. I've been drying some of them out and that's also gone well.

they need to be kept under control...don't just plant them in your garden...

Is your oregano hard to control?

Never had a problem with any of them since we put them in containers, so much easier to look after, we tend to dig out about half the plant at the end of the season, gives space for the new better growth come spring
