I don’t know, what’s growing in my garden, majoram or oregano? Years ago I had both in my garden, but like Katie I lost the track 26.09.2023 **. Than we remodeled the herb garden and there was only one plant left, but which one, I don’t know! I used this herb in combination with parsley, thyme, basil and parsley for the

Eigentlich riecht man den Unterschied.
Wenn das Kraut nach Pizza riecht ist es Oregano. ;-)

Und wonach riecht dann Majoran? Nach Leberwurst?
Thyme for Cooking
Those look delicious! With 4 tbs they should be full of flavor. And with all of thid cold, rainy weather we’re having they’re a much better idea for dinner than cooking on the barbecue. I still have some tomatoes left in my freezer…..
I vote for Oregano
The meatballs sound delicious to me. Judging from your photo, I’m guessing it’s oregano. But who knows? I think they’re very similar in taste.
REPLY:
Ich esse keine Leberwurst, deshalb weiss ich nicht ob die nach Majoran riecht. Jedenfalls riecht Majoran nicht nach Pizza. ;-)
Leider kann ich dir den Geruch von Majoran nicht erklären, aber er riecht wirklich etwas anders als Oregano.
REPLY:
I agree with Kalyn
I also think it is oregano.

Hard to say..
Marjoram and oregano are so similar looking. As far as I know, marjoram is an annual (but it could well self-seed in the right climate). For me the big difference between the two is the scent. Marjoram is very perfumed (almost bergamot-like) and oregano has a wilder smell.
Your tomato sauce looks delicious, by the way.
