Notes

Date is from likely-oldest plant. Some are descendants.

Planted in pots on north-facing balcony.

Ridiculously productive. Gave away several plants in summer 2013, retired another. Now down to a manageable quantity.

2014-08-31: Bought a new oregano plant. Retired one old retired oregano plant to dry, gave another away.

2014-10-06: New oregano has come up in the space we'd previously grown oregano, and the new oregano has started growing a bunch as well, so we gave away the last of our old oregano.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
