#herbchat Aside from me hating on it, I had never heard anything bad about it. Mom’s plant tried to take me out every time I walked past it. I trimmed it with a chainsaw once. Banned for months. It grew back thicker and meaner.

#Herbchat I think if you grew it away from the path it could be a great plant.

#herbchat I forgot that quince is also very, very pleasantly fragrant. Another reason Dad or I never cut it down.

#herbchat Sorry. I hope your experience was better. Actually, that shrub was still there when we sold my parent’s home. 30 years of scratched up arms. ❀️

#herbchat No, it is not. Apple trees should not have thorns.

#herbchat It was a strong plant, but the thorns were cruel. I’ve seen pink or white, not sure about other colors. It’s in the apple family, early spring flowers. The birds love it.

#herbchat Quince jelly is the stuff of legends. State fair competitions, old family recipes, etc. I tried to harvest fruit once and decided the birds could have it.

#herbchat Yes. Mom had one on her walkway. Fast grower. Vicious thorns. We kept it at shrub size. Easy to see it getting tree size.

#Herbchat Quince is an interesting choice. It was interesting to research because I don’t think of quince like that.

Greek Oregano Plant Greek Oregano seeds in containers or in the patio herb garden and enjoy oregano in Greek dishes, on pizza, souvlaki, or in Italian or Balkan recipes.

Oregano is a great herb/garden plant to attract bees to your garden. It’s slow to grow from seeds but is usually easy to find as started plants. The information on this page from one of my favourite seed suppliers is handy info. #herbchat

#herbchat this is the same plant with a totally different name. This is why gardeners are confused.
