I thought I had lots of dry oregano. But either we used it or it is there (somewhere) where we will find it when we don´t need it.
The fresh oregano was almost buried by weeds. Fortunately, they are hardy. Still, today I got as much as I could weeds with their strong roots and then let water flow. Tomorrow I will dig a little more to see if some weeds have hidden between the oregano leaves.
I have several oregano plants (where I live they are perennials) and I cut leaves and dry them. That way I have the fresh leaves for some uses and dry ground leaves for some dishes.
Do you have a herb garden?

Oregano plants are very hardy. And they are perennials.

@marguicha So would you say they are fairly easy to grow?

I use it for cooking. But then, I use several plants that are used for cooking and for medicine.

@rheicel Oregano is the reason why Canned spaghetti sauce have a different taste than regular tomato sauce. I find it weird that in the Philippines, oregano and basil are nothing but herbal medicines and Avocado is a dessert.

@marguicha They usually boil the leaves and drink it's like a tea. They're going to use it if they have a common cold and cough.

I don't have a garden here. Most of people live in an apartment only, especially in the city. It is so nice that you have a garden that grows different kinds of herbs. It is so fantastic! You can have fresh herbs to cook. I can only buy the dried herbs from supermarket.

You can have containers on a window sill with some herbs.

I have oregano all year. But if I lived where winter is harsh, I´d place it containers.
