Sweet marjoram
Knotted marjoram (Sweet marjoram) - Origanum majorana = Majorana hortensis.
The gardener's pride! A fragrant seasoning for all dishes. Medicine for colds.
Marjoram is a perennial shrub. Numerous stems (20-50) form a bush 50-55 cm high, 35-40 cm in diameter.
Marjoram is a thermophilic plant. In culture, it is often grown as an annual herb.
Demanding on the light. It is drought-resistant, but at the beginning of growth and development it reacts negatively to a lack of moisture.
Prefers loose, well-drained fertile soils. Responsive to fertilizers.
Blooms in June-July (mass blooms in early July). Good honey plant.
Grown in light, nutrient-rich soils. Marjoram is thermophilic, in the early stages of development it is sensitive to frost.
Sowing in April-May for seedlings or directly into the ground in early June. The optimum temperature for seed germination is + 20 + 25 ° C.
Marjoram seeds are very small, they do not cover, it is enough to roll them in (in the case of sowing for seedlings). Seedlings are planted in the ground after the end of frost, according to the scheme 15 cm x 25 cm.
Seeds mixed with dry sand are sown to a depth of 1-1.5 cm at the beginning of April at the rate of 0.1 g per 200 plants (when sowing in open ground). Shoots appear on days 18-23.
Caring for plants is reduced to thinning plants, feeding, loosening the soil in the aisles and rows.
Harvest the marjoram before flowering. The plant is cut about 6 cm from the ground, then it shoots again, and a second rich harvest is ready by autumn.
(In the south countries, it is grown in open ground, in the middle lane and in the northern regions - through seedlings).
