When to Plant
How to Plant Marjoram grows best in full sun locations with well drained soil. They can tolerate drought and can do well in average soils. Marjoram is actually very drought resistant and only needs to be watered once or twice a week. There is no need to fertilize this plant. Harvest the flowers as soon as they appear, because the leaves will turn bitter once the flowers set.
When to Harvest Start harvesting your marjoram as soon as it has produced a few dozen leaves. The young, tender leaves have the best flavor. Harvesting is best done early in the morning when the oils are the strongest. Place the leaves in a dry, cool ventilated area. Once dried, you can put them in the freezer for a later time. |
