Possibly one of the most recognized herbs in the cook's garden, oregano is easy to grow and adds plenty of taste to food. Its fantastic when cut fresh from the plant and can easily be dried for long-term storage. This one propagates and roots up very easily as well . Just cut from the main plant ,strip few leaves from the bottom and place in water and regrow , regrow and regrow :-)
