We had a very mild winter this year and both the Rosemary and Oregano survived--that is until my husband was helping me clean out the garden beds this spring and uprooted my Rosemary plant! (It’s a good thing I really love him.)

Oregano is one of my favorite herbs for so many reasons – not the least of which are it’s wonderful health benefits and great flavor in Italian dishes. Eating it raw is a bit too much for me, but I often find my oldest son down here in the garden picking and eating the fresh oregano leaves – I swear it has to be one of the reasons the kid never gets sick. :-)

What’s your favorite thing to do with Oregano?
