Hey, all. I have a friend on another forum who was asking about growing and using Zaatar and I remembered that it has come up here. pepperhead212, didn't you grow Zaatar last year, or try to? I tried searching your posts and it looks like you had trouble germinating it. Did you ever get it to grow? Does anyone else have experience with growing it, or use it in the kitchen? Thanks, Laura

Laura_in_FL I couldn't get it to germinate well, in hydro or in pots - the few that came up just didn't want to grow. I finally ran out of seeds (not that many in the packet), so I couldn't play around with them anymore. I don't know why they didn't grow as well as other oregano seeds.

I believe he was the second-in-command officer of Galactor. Oh wait, y’all are talking about plants not planets. Plus one to anyone who knows to whom I’m referring.

Having never heard of za'atar I looked it up: Variations of this herb and spice blend go back to medieval times, and it's a common ingredient in all of the countries of the Middle East. Typically, za'atar is a blend of dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, toasted sesame seeds, and salt, but as with any spice blend that is ancient, there are many variations—and plenty of opinions about which is the right proportion for each ingredient.
And having never heard of Galactor it got looked up as well: Galactor was founded by the enigmatic alien lifeform Sosai X having used a mafia group and remodeling it into a full-fledged terrorist group that Earth defenses were powerless against. Through their advanced technology and manpower, they strove to control planet Earth and its natural resources. It was not until ISO had deployed the Science Ninja Team that their plans of conquest or annihilation of Earth were being constantly delayed or thwarted.
Amazing what can be learned on this site, although there is most likely nowhere this information can be used unless it comes up as an answer on Jeopardy.
