    Identifying 2 herbs, help needed.

    I've got 2 herbs I need identifying help with.
    Could someone tell me what they are please?
    Thank you.

    I added a photo of a chamomile plant as well, is that still something I can save and bring back to life? Or throw it out and sow some new seeds?

    The first looks like thyme, the second like oregano/pot marjoram. Can't help with the chamomile I'm afraid.
    March is the new winter.

      First one looks like Thyme, second one I thought sage. BTW, you have far too many slug pellets down there. You need 1 per six inches maximum.

        Thank you so far

        Rustylady, it's poundland pellets and if i don't shake 'em on the soil like his I will have a million slugs eat all my plants.
        These plants came out of a herbwheel

          Doesn't matter if it's Poundland pellets or other branded ones - you don't need that many. Go on slug patrol - look in nooks and crannies, and go out when it's getting dark. Then pick the little bu@@ers up and drop them into a bucket of salted water.

            You also need to cut all the dead bits off your herbs

              Slug pellets attract the slugs. So the more you put down the more slugs you shall have.

                I only wish the slugs would eat oregano, it's scarcely better than a weed in my garden.

                  You were right, thank you!

                    The second one looks very much greek oregano, small leaves spreading roots expanding size of plant and the upright habit of the old growth.

                    Trim back the thyme about half an inch past any dead growth, and cut back the oregano to about an inch high they will both flourish then once the weather picks up. Not sure about the chamomile I would wait and see what it does as it still has some green growth.

                    Oh and no slug pellets required around the oregano.

                    Cheers Chris

                    Beware Greeks bearing gifts, or have you already got a wooden horse?... hehe.
