Dinu Mysore India (Zone 10a) March 13, 2003 01:15 AM Post #489519 Absolutely. So many of these herbs have medicinal value. It is for this important reason they are grown and some are even worshipped. How did you like its aroma? Chamma Tennille, GA (Zone 8b) March 20, 2003 03:41 PM Post #494435 I was told it was a type of oregano... I love the smell!
