    I bought a cute sheep pot last year with some seeds to sow in it. They have now come up and I can't remember what they are! I thought it was mint, but clearly not. Doesn't look like thyme or oregano either. Doesn't smell particularly herby. Any ideas please? Don't know if it's edible now! lindyco IMG-20220526-WA0006.jpg

    If it's not aromatic, it's not oregano, but it does look like it to me :) In the worst-case scenario, you've got a cute pot full of chickweed :biggrin:

      I was thinking chickweed Noisette but the flowers aren't right for that.
