Sowing: Sow the seeds just below the surface of the soil and keep the temperature at 65-70 degrees F. Keep out of direct sunlight, and keep the soil moist when the seedlings appear. Transplant them as soon as they grow big enough to handle.

Growing: Oregano actually has the most flavorful taste if left alone, with minimal watering and no fertilization. For the best tasting leaves, keep the tops pruned to prevent flowering and to keep the leaves tender.

Harvesting: Fresh leaves can be harvested as soon as the plant reaches a height of 6″. The best time for harvesting leaves is in the morning after the dew has dried. Harvest entire stalks by cutting them at least 1″ above the ground to allow for new growth. Fresh leaves will keep in the refrigerator for about five days, but can also be frozen or dried. Because heat tends to destroy the flavor of oregano, it should be added to hot food immediately before serving. Unlike most herbs, dried oregano leaves tend to have a much stronger flavor than fresh ones.
