I took my ornamental oregano plant from outside into a pot inside. This was its second year and it grew back, but I don't know why it is dying. Help!

When to transplant.
I would wait to divide and move until early spring, just as they start to grow.
About a week ago, my oregano (about 3 months old) was looking really nice. Then the leaves started to turn purple-brownish and so I harvested a good bunch of them. However, they just seem to look worse and worse every day. Attached below are pictures. Also there's a weird thing growing on a newborn bell pepper, is it dangerous?
You may have both a fungus and pest issue going on.
The links below will help you.
Spider Mites will cause leaves to be
stippled with yellow; leaves may appear bronzed; webbing covering leaves; mites may be visible as tiny moving dots on the webs or underside of leaves,
Mint Rust Small, dusty, bright orange, yellow or brown pustules on undersides of leaves; new shoots may be pale and distorted; large areas of leaf tissue die and leaves may drop from plant.

In Connecticut, would it be best to grow in containers? Should they be brought indoors in a dark area to go dormant over winter, or should i just treat them as houseplants of the winter? Thank you
You will want to grow these indoors, and treat them as a high light requirement houseplant, year round. As far as where to get them... We don't usually recommend specific places. You can check your local nurseries, or check online places like Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay.

Is it too late in the season (I live on Long Island NY) to dry and store oregano? I"baked" my oregano today and there is little to no aroma. I think I waited too long.
It's best to let it sit for over 24 hours and Dry slowly, although baking can work,too. It just might lose some flavor.
