Title: Mystery Plant
Post by: Poppy Mole on June 01, 2009, 18:45:12
Please can someone identify this plant for me.
I vaguely remember seeing it last year but don't remember any flowers on it, but it was in a part of the garden that I wasn't dealing with untilthis year.(http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu135/PoppyMole/SA704188.jpg)
It smells sort of sage-ish

Could be a golden sage then.... ??????

More likely a golden Marjoram/Oregano...  :)

it's a beast. It'll be all over the place next year, there'll be no vaguely remembering seeing it, you won't be able to move for the stuff

I would treat every plant as non edible until you get it confirmed.
Had a plant in the last plot only to find out it was a poisonous cousin of the aforementioned.
Be safe not poorly

Fairly certain now that it is marjoram.
Added some to some soft cheese & stuffed chicken breasts with it for supper last night & am still alive to garden some more.
Many thanks for all you help
