wow, it just grows and grows and grows. I have regular oregano and "spicy" oregano. I keep giving it away. I clip it, hang it, dry it, use it fresh. It still stands many inches above its "this is a ground creeping vine" description. Buried amongst other herbs it reaches taller.

I hack it, throw it into the compost, hack it some more, trade it for eggs, hack it and toss it into the crock pot, hack it....you get the idea.

Love the flavor, but it is hardy and keeps you on your toes.
