    Hi EJ,

    Your weather must be better than ours, it was 21F today so sowing nothing.

    Just a fyi to be careful on the "oregano" seeds. Generally speaking the edible oregano is referred to as "greek oregano" (origanum vulgare) and it is not grown from seeds but from cuttings. Most "oregano seeds" are not oregano at all but some form of marjoram (origanum majorana).

    In our climatic zone, 7 a & b greek oregano is a perennial so once one plant is established then you can cut and clip year round.

    Your garden makes me hungry for some tomatoes, basil, mozzarella and EVOO drizzled over. We can't get good tomatoes here yet.
