What's the difference between marjoram and oregano?

[AnyDream]

I have marjoram and oregano both growing in my garden. Problem is I've forgotten which one is which. Is there an easy way to remember the difference?

Marjoram leaves are longer "pointier" and oregano is more round then into a point.

Toomany, thanks for that, I will go out and stare at them tomorrow and try to remember the difference.

My marjoram grows closer to the ground in a tight, dense clump, and the leaves are smaller.

The oregano has larger leaves and its growth habit is more leggy and boisterous. It also looks quite sad in winter.

You could label them once you decide which is which!

HTH.
