From Seeds

Growing from seeds is trickier than planting already growing plants.DSC04001 This Vinca is the only plant I got after planting about 160 seeds.  However, since it is perennial, it will last a long time and just get bigger.

DSC03998  This is some extra oregano which I planted from seed nearly a year ago.  It has thrived recently, spreading and growing relatively better than the marjoram next to it.  So I took out the excess that was nearly invading the space of the marjoram.    After washing and removing the stems, we got five loosely packed sandwich bags each containing  about half a cup of oregano leaves.  We put these into the freezer to use for cooking.  Some of the leaves did have holes in them, so I do not dare eat them fresh, for fear of catching a liver fluke.
