Oregano, Origanum vulgare, is also known as Greek oregano (as opposed to Cretan oregano, which is another name for pot marjoram), wild marjoram, winter marjoram, wintersweet and mountain mint. It is not closely related to mint. The oreganos and marjorams are quite closely related, which explains the almost interchangeable names. You can also use any of them as a substitute for any of the others in cooking (and for thyme) - though not necessarily as a remedy. Sow indoors Feb-April ½cm (¼")
