Herb Spotslight
Oregano
Fresh oregano has a bold, savoury flavour that stands up beautifully to grilled meats and smoky barbecue cooking.
Plant it in spring or early summer in a sunny spot. It grows well in pots and will come back year after year, making it a great herb to keep close to your outdoor cooking space.
