Oregano question

‎07-05-2015 12:23 PM

I don't know if I have a problem or not.  June was an incredibly rainy and cool month, but I don't know if that has any bearing on my oregano.  

 

It is turning red.   Why?  What do I do about it?

There are different oregano varieties. Is this a plant you had from last year?

 

Does it look like this?

Thank you, Harpa, for your reply.  My oregano is two or three years old, and does not look like your photo.   I did some Googling and learned that the excessive rain we've had is likely the cause.  So, I went out and cut it back fairly severely.  More rain is in the forecast, so I might be fighting a losing battle.   The thyme doesn't look so hot either, and I've lost all my tomato plants as well.  Think it might be time to consider putting in a pond and trying for fish. Woman Frustrated
