Very versatile, it can be used in salads as well as with cooked meats and other dishes.
When to plant: All year round as required How to grow: Sow seeds directly and thin seedlings to final spacing. Marjoram thrives in a warm, sunny position in a well drained soil. Pick shoots as they are required for use. For drying or freezing gather them just before flowers open. Removing flowers as they form will give a longer picking period.
For growing in pots, sow 0.25in (0.5) deep in pots or trays of seed compost. Keep moist and thin as necessary. Harden off before planting outdoors 8in (20cm) apart. Sow all year round in pots on the windowsill. Harvest: All year round as required
