You're brave growing from seeds . Just buy the plants, you'll be so pleased with zero effort.

Another of those seed manufacturers tricks; like pretending that there are such things as oriental poppies!!!

I was thinking of growing oregano also from seed - is it problematic? disappointed if it is

My oregano hasn't done anything and my mint took ages and still only appears as tiny green specks in the compost rather than seedlings.

I have alson sown coriander, chervil, chives, basil and parsley from seed and have had mixed success... coriander, parsley and basil came up okay... chervil has just sprung into action and there is one solitary chive poking through. Still have rosemary and thyme to sow next month so will keep my fngers crossed that they are the "easier" ones to germinate.
