This is marjoram. I used it to make a most perfect pot of shchi. There's a Story behind it, so sit comfortably and listen!

Since apparently it wasn't coming back, I decided to grow my own. It didn't go well. Too much water, too little water, too many slugs, wrong soil... Gardening is not easy. But I persisted. (cont.)
