RE: Where did this come from?

Fava beans are very common here, so are lupin beans. And they're pretty.

I never made oregano pesto, the taste is very intense - but there is a sauce called "chimichurri" here that is basically a load of oregano, garlic and chili, all crushed together with oil. That's really good stuff.

As this patch of oregano was dying, I took some away and planted it in another pot. Who knows. Maybe it'll keep growing. In the real garden there are many herbs, and also a few oregano plants. But it's not doing thaaaat well, just growing here and there a little.
