what do oregano seedlings look like?! :)

16 years ago

I planted oregano, but i can't find it!

A few of my plant markers were carried away by squirrels (apparently they like red plastic?)

And i have re-identified all of my herbs except for oregano.. I am trying to weed the garden, but can't figure out what's what!

Are they tiny tiny tiny little seedlings?

round leaves? heart shaped? teardrop?

i am guessing (based on the size of the seeds i planted) they are the little little things) but does anyone have a picture or description of about one week old oregano seedlings?

unfortunately, nothig in my herb garden is anywhere near as big as that! :)
i must say, though, i was really excited to return from vacation to find my two inch tall dill and cilantro plants have tiny little leaves that look smell and taste (ahh the beauty of "thinning seedlings" ;) like their respective selves- its so funny to see such teenie tiny herbs. :)

If I remember right, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli seedlings all look pretty similar. I grew some last spring, and if I hadn't labeled them, I don't know if I could have told them apart. Did quite a bit of searching on the Net. This is the only picture I've found so far of just sprouted Brussels sprouts. Here is a link that might be useful: Young Brussels sprouts, etc.

Got to agree with the above. That was my first reaction too since it is across the board - it is the classic look of way too much water/too wet soil. My only other thoughts as "possibles" is halide light burn or wind burn. But if in the greenhouse and unless your fans are set way too high speed ;) I'd doubt wind burn is the problem. Dave

I'd suggest you wait to weed until the little plants get big enough to ID. Once they get their first true leaves (the second set), the leaves should look like miniatures of the parent leaves.

My oregano was started from seeds the beginning of April and now have an inch or two stems of tiny green leaves, similar to thyme. The thyme leaves are on 3 inch stems though, and were started the same time. I also have rosemary started from seed and these too have a few small leaves. Just planted all of these, along with basil, shallots, asparagus, and tarragon, in my garden. There are a few varieties of oregano, with smaller round leaves, as well as larger oval pointed shaped leaves like the photo above.
