Growing and Harvesting Oregano

I've been busy harvesting my Oregano patch and the house smells incredible. I use this herb in so many of my recipes. Once I filled my basket a number of times (14 times to be exact), I took some heavy twine and created bundles of the Oregano to hang for drying.
I placed it in the spare room upstairs where it was cool and dry. It takes a good few weeks to dry and then I store it in a gallon size mason jar.

One of my favorite herbs to grow and use.....its starting to poke its head up and smile at Spring. I've been weeding and pulling dead pieces off. The weather has been wonderful for working in the garden. Its been not touched for a few years so its loving the attention its getting now.
I can't wait to harvest and be using this wonderful herb in my cooking.

Do you grow fresh herbs? Do you have a favorite?
