The Gardener's Notepad

Breathtakingly beautiful, strongly Oregano scented, and grows well dry poor soil! A win win win for those awful spaces where nothing will grow besides rocks. The foliage/flower color combination is especially nice too, and blends well with almost anything. I like to pick a little piece of foliage or else a few flowers when they're out, and crush them lightly and inhale. Oh! Yeah! Whatever was wrong with your day just got less so! If one hit didn't do it, just repeat the process until it does. And if you still need more, head over to the Russian Sage or the Lavender. Sometimes the best things in life are aromatic.
