I have forgotten the name of this herb:



It has fuzzy, silver leaves.

if you pinch off a leaf and rub it between your fingers you'll know if it is sage.

Sadly it is neither sage nor oregano. It wintered over in zone 8, and has gotten bigger. I know it's an old fashion herb, but I haven't had time to sit down with an old herb book and figure out which on it is...
