Thanks for checking F4F, that's pretty good that a few months and you can already smell the leaves. I'm going to go searching for the seeds. Get started now while the weather is so weird.

Here's a pic of my smelly leaves.

Top Left (large leaf) Cuban Oregano - has a nice fragrance for cooking.
Bottom Left (this is the varigated Cuban Oregano, it usually is a lot larger in leaf size but I had to pick the young top leaves as the freeze killed most of it off. - this has a similar taste to the Top larger leaf but it's not as woody.
Top Right - this is from my vicks plant - it feels like velvet and smells like strong vicks.
Bottom Right - This is a mix of the so called Walmart "cuban oregano" varieties....they smell horrible like camphor.
