Herbs

Start seed indoors 4 weeks before last frost, or outside after last frost; sow just covered, in good light. Thin to 10" and grow in well-drained poor to average soil, full sun. Stem cuttings can be used to overwinter the plant indoors, as with basil, though the plant is winter-hardy into zone 5

Perennial, self-sows well. Wild marjoram, Origanum vulgare, often sold as oregano, is NOT the real kitchen oregano, and is much less aromatic
