I love contests! Will have to put something together. Your oregano looks great. I have a small plant but no where near blooming. I snip fresh leaves off for spaghetti sauce.
I had planted new oregano last year and this year it has quadrupled in size and the space it takes up in the herb garden. I may have to separate some and make the area smaller. It also grew super fast too, so I have an abundance of oregano; luckily we like it a lot!
I had the opposite problem. My little plant of oregano was getting choked out by other plants. Hubs had to replace a tire on the riding lawn mover and I put the old tire into the ground and packed soil in and around it - put the oregano inside. It seems to be happy to have it’s own space.
INGENIOUS idea!!! Great usage of the old tire. I should consider doing that in the back of our property near the creek bed... tires would be perfect there!
