With the lettuce, broad beans and brussell sprouts I'll attempt a proper variety-based succession, rather than just sow them all asap as in previous years.

That Greek oregana is very hot! I've not dried it but think it might be preferable to trying to eat it fresh

Sounds intriguing compared to the bland oregano I've grown hitherto. Highly invasive apparently...

Found a good article on oregano here:

Invasive! It would be! I've grown loads of it and dotted it about the garden. Think it would benefit from a trim. My mate says that in Greece and the islands the sheep and goats graze on this stuff so their meat is ready marinated when it comes to barbecue time. I could believe it because the flavour is very powerful.
