red = jelly (very pretty blush pink)
white = wine

I made a DIY hoop house today in my raised box as the weather is getting cooler. Sort of a first-time experiment. Probably a late start but we'll see what happens! My chickens got in and kicked around in the box and I'm sure some seeds flew and I lost some seedlings. Oops!

Been in low 40's up here probably get frost warning next week. Kinda torn between pulling up producing plants or plant winter wheat before it freezes.

Did you use PVC for the hoops?

Did you use PVC for the hoops?

We put in a plug of Oregano last year in the garden. It was a little $3 pot from the farmers market. Not sure the specific variety... It grew to a little bush about 9 inches in diameter and maybe 6 inches high.

It is a perennial. It came back this spring, and EXPLODED. It covers an area about 4 feet by 4 feet, and the branches are 18 inches tall. Stems that lay on the ground put down new roots. It's like edible kudzu.

Hope yours flourishes like that too!

Next spring I'm going to have to do some serious boundary management for it.

PS: The chickens weren't interested in eating it.

Just a bit of trivia, that you may already be aware of: PVC breaks down in sunlight. If you paint it, it will last longer. Also, does not do well in freezing temps. Tends to shatter.

Oregano can certainly be invasive. Also, any members of the mint family as well... but, we can forgive them b/c they are so good, yes???
