    They all germinated

    Bought oregano seeds in Costa Rica, we tried different sowing methods but none of them worked, but the ones we bought with Botanical Interests, popped up in 4 - 5 days, which was surprising and a big relief, since we thought we were just bad at growing oregano.

    Excellent flavor! Grows well and easy to start from seed in trays. I dried a lot of it, jarred it and stuck it in the fridge. Been using it for several months now -until next season!
