Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 8, 2022 I am getting the garden beds ready for warmer weather. I built two new beds and will repurpose the original bed for something else. I was moving soil from the old bed and found an oregano plant from last year. I didn’t know they wintered over. I set it aside and this will be my first plant in the new beds. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted March 8, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2022 Oregano is very invasive. We ended up making one garden bed just oregano. It is very prolific! Even here in Ontario, it winters well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted March 8, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 8, 2022 oregano and mint are the worst for being invasive. We have about 70 pepper plants and tomato plants to get into the ground in the next couple weeks.. The greenhouse I built my wife is too good at starting seedlings and we are becoming overrun on everything.. Not to mention the beans, cucumber, lavender, and peanuts we also started. Ohhhhh and just for giggles... she tried potatoes... yah... we are ready to almost harvest our first round for the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted March 8, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 8, 2022 I planted the Mint on the outside of my fence, next to the street. Oregano is right on the inside of the fence. Neither are anywhere near the veg garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhhhh and just for giggles... she tried potatoes... yah... we are ready to almost harvest our first round for the year. I had an about 1-foot wide plot of dirt running between the side of my last house and the pavement. I filled it 2/3 with strawberries and 1/3 with mint and peppermint. I had to struggle to keep the mint from overrunning the strawberries. Eventually, I moved the mint and some other herbs to a planter and let the strawberries run all along the house, I had to put up a net to keep the birds out, but it worked well. I let the kids on the block pick them as long as they saved some for me and they were pretty good about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted March 8, 2022 @MickinMD our strawberries are in a planter and wintered well. They’re putting out new green shoots. I won’t plant mint anywhere but a planter; that stuff is too aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will not give up on them, but they piss me off.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to put them inside the garden fence. My deer eat everything, even the pine tree needles. They don't like iris, daffodil, juniper, sage, thyme, garlic and rosemary. Oregano is too small to tell so far. We will see if they chomp it. They also like parsley. They have quite a range of flavors that they like.
