does that mean there’s hope for the three sad and crispy/crusty plants that never made it to my brother? Maybe I should give them some love. I don't know about that. My little neglected plants DID get watered on a fairly regular basis, they just never made it into larger containers or the ground - were root-bound in tiny little 4" pots. But they did come back the following year.

I harvested two herbs today, since we are under a freeze warning - marjoram and Syrian oregano - mot regular oregano, but they look similar. They dry easily, and, while both are fairly winter resistant, and grow back in the spring, I take a few of these every year, mostly the Syrian oregano, since it is the least cold proof, and root them in pots on my back porch! I put the Syrian oregano in my hydroponics the first off season I had it, but it grew too much, like it was on steroids! Fortunately, it comes back up every winter, but I can't be too careful! I just strip about 2" of a stem, and dunk them in rooting hormone, and put 2 in each of some spots in a Jr Earthbox, on my back porch. The rest of these I'll dry - they keep flavor well, and leaves strip from the stems easily. Marjoram (L), and Syrian (a.k.a. thyme scented) oregano, harvested when freeze is forecast. by pepperhead212, on Flickr
