I've started growing my own Greek oregano, and it's become one of my favorite herbs to have on hand. There's nothing like it! The flavor is so much better than the dried oregano I buy at the store! I sometimes take cuttings and dry my own, too, and mine even tastes better than store bought.
Right now I keep mine in large pots instead of planting it in the ground. Since our winters can get pretty cold, I bring the pots indoors before the first hard frost and then put them back outside in the spring. It's worked fairly well so far, but I'm wondering if there's a better approach.
For those of you who grow oregano, do you keep it in containers year-round, plant it directly in the garden, or do something else entirely? How does it handle your winters? I'd love to hear what has worked best for you and any tips you've picked up over the years.
