=Oregano=



Why an Italian plant?
We decided to plant oregano seeds because we wanted to choose a plant which is related to Italy. Italian is our second language for the "auto-apprentissage", so we hope that the growing of our oregano represents the progress in our language skills.

What now?
Oregano grows in a sunny and humid environment. It is used in almost every Italian dish to give a special taste. Normally you should plant it during spring and harvest during automn, but placing it indoors, that should not be a problem. We now need to find a sunny place in the school where it can grow successfully. The temperature of the soil should not fall below 15°C. Furthermore we have to take care that the soil is always a little humid. Therefore every partner will be responsible during two weeks to take care of the watering. After ten days the first little plants should grow. As soon as they have six or seven leaves, we have to sort out the weak plants, so that the good ones have enough place to develop in all their beauty.

We hope that within the next months, some beautiful little oregano shrubs will grow in our pot, representing our language skills that will hopefully increase in the same way. So maybe, in the context of our activities, we will be able to cook a delicious Italian meal with our own oregano.
