Eight months have passed since sowing oregano and tarragon. They survived yet another move and relocation to a stuffy sunny windowsill and even bloomed in August. Here’s how oregano flowering on a windowsill in a pot looks.
Oregano Flowering
Tarragon Flowering
I allowed it to flower once; next year I will pinch off the flower stems in favor of the greens. Now, with trepidation, I await winter. The tarragon shoots have started to harden and thin out, and the leaves even seem a bit sick – I noticed black spots on the old leaves. I won’t do anything until spring; I trimmed the stems to 15 cm – let it winter.
Oregano is also likely preparing for winter – the leaves have become smaller. I cut it back quite a bit and added it to soups and chicken – amazing! Dried oregano doesn’t even come close, as they say))).
Oregano after wintering. I thinned out a few plants at the end of February as they had dried out significantly. I decided to keep the strongest one and didn’t regret it – now it’s growing into a strong bush with large, fleshy leaves.
I didn’t transplant it into a larger pot; I just refreshed the soil. Since there is only one plant left, there is enough space for it.
