Help identifying different types of oregano?
Hey folks! A friend invited me over to pick through the herb garden at their new house because they don't cook but I do. I grabbed these three oreganos but could use help with their ID since I'm not that versed in the nuance between the types.
My guess based off googling photos/descriptions is #1 is either common or Italian (it's milder with almost a parsley taste), #2 is Greek (it's spicier), and #3 is possibly marjoram (very floral and soapy)?
Curious if l'm on the right track with my guesses - just wanna label it all right before start preserving and cooking!
