Sowing Tips:

• Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly outdoors after the last frost.
• Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for the best growth.
• Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by incorporating organic compost to enhance fertility and drainage.

Planting Tips:

• Depth: Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover them, as they need light to germinate.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 8-10 inches apart to allow for adequate growth.

Watering and Fertilization:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once established, oregano is relatively drought-tolerant, so water sparingly.
• Fertilization: Oregano does not require heavy fertilization. Apply a light organic fertilizer once a month if needed.

Care and Maintenance:

• Pruning: Regularly trim the plants to encourage bushier growth and prevent them from becoming leggy.
• Pest Control: Oregano is generally pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for aphids and spider mites. Use organic pest control methods if necessary.

Harvesting:

• Timing: Harvest oregano leaves once the plant is established, typically 8-10 weeks after sowing.
• Method: Cut the stems just above a leaf node to encourage new growth. Harvest in the morning for the best flavor.
• Storage: Store harvested oregano by drying the leaves and keeping them in an airtight container.

Climate Adaptation: Oregano thrives in Pakistan’s climate, enjoying both warm and mild conditions for optimal growth.
