Tips for Growing Oregano
To begin growing oregano, you should find out which variety you need to sow. There are culinary and ornamental types of oregano. Oregano is very simple to upkeep, grow and harvest, so is very difficult to go wrong.
When growing oregano for use in the kitchen, there are two common varieties:
For Mediterranean style, go with Greek Oregano – this is the type we know most.
For French cuisine style, it’s good to use Wild Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), as it has less odor and tastes sweeter.
Different varieties of growing oregano have purple or pink clusters that bloom in June. This perennial herb grows well in most temperate climates.
It may sound surprising, but oregano, is actually part of the mint species. The word oregano in Greece means “joy of the mountain” Before, Oregano was seen covering large areas of the hills in Greece. The shepherds encouraged the growth for their grazing flocks, believing the white flowered herb made the meat tender and tasty.
Work a plant bed over before placing the seeds, then cover with soil. Seeds can be planted inside, and then transplanted when the outside temperature remains at around 45 degrees Farenhiet. This herb can not tolerate cold weather. Oregano plants can be placed in window boxes during the winter.
Make sure the earth does not retain water.
With oregano, it is best not to add any fertilizer or compost, as this tends to change the flavor of the herb.
Do not over water. When growing oregano you can let the ground dry a tad, and then water lightly. You do not want the ground to be soaked.
If you can’t furnish a well-drained bed for the plants, try growing oregano in pots instead.
Place the oregano plants a foot apart. And be sure to place in a sunny position, as this herb needs a minimum of 8 hours sunlight every day.
The plant can grow to the height of about twenty four inches, but usually averages about one foot high.
Growing Oregano Advice
Use stone mulch with oregano, this will prevent root rot from excessive moisture held in straw, glass or woodchip.
To produce more oregano leaves at harvesting time, pinch off the flower heads if your plant begins to blossom.
When your oregano has grown to the height of about 5 inches, It is time to start harvesting by taking leaves from the stem.
Cut the growing plant back about three inches continually throughout the season to encourage new growth.
Benefits from Oregano
The most beneficial medical uses of growing oregano are for chest infections, arthritis, glaucoma, and hypertension.
Oregano is also a natural remedy for colds and flu, by boiling the leaves in water. This technique can get rid of a nasty head cold, while at the same time leaving the skin moisturized and soft.
Uses for Oregano:
Fresh oregano leaves are savory additions to soup, meats, sauces, salad dressings, and egg dishes.
You can dry, chop or freeze oregano for long time storage.
Growing oregano is as easy as pizza pie!
But the best benefit (other than the flavor) is the fact that the herb is available all year round.
