How long does it take spearmint to mature?

My spearmint just sprouted a little the other day (hooray!) and don't worry, I'm growing it in a pot, I've read nothing but it's invasive nature, and I was wondering;


How long will it take before I can start using the leaves.


Same question for oregano, which I'm growing at school.

How long does it take spearmint to mature?
You can use the leaves as soon as they are open, usually when there are several more on the stem above them. Remember the leaves are the manufacturing plant for the nutriants the plant needs to grow, use them sparingly until the plant is established. Let both get 6 to 8 inches tall.
