Oregano has always been an indispensable herb in my garden as well as in my kitchen.But today, looking for a practical and pretty storage I realised that it is also a very good garden hourglass.You start spring with the green carpet waking up to the warmth and longer daylight hours.
Then, through the summer you can see the flower buds stretching and turning colour until finally they are ready for picking and seasoning the most delicious dishes.
And I only realised by accident when using a gift given last year for my name day: a very long narrow beautiful vase. Flowers looked really stylish and elegant. The only but was cleaning the inside having a very narrow top. Consequences were that, in spite of how much I liked the effect of the bouquets, it didn’t get to be used very often. So, last week when I needed a container for the oregano I thought of the lonely glass sitting idle on a shelf and this is it.
