How to harvest oregano
- You can actually harvest oregano again and again. Of course, the prerequisite is that it has stems and leaves, as these carry the aromatic taste of oregano.
- However, oregano has the most aromas when it is in bloom, which is the case in midsummer, i.e. in the months of July and August. Ideally, the harvest should take place during the flowering period.
- When harvesting, be sure to cut the oregano about a hand’s breadth above the ground.
- If you want to dry the oregano, pack the individual stalks together in a bunch.
