While looking for something else, I came across some packaged fresh herbs in a grocery store with roots and dirt still attached. I bought the tarragon, and planted it as soon as I got home. Does anyone have any experience successfully growing plants from such a source? If it works, it is a lot cheaper than buying the plants from a nursery.

While looking for something else, I came across some packaged fresh herbs in a grocery store with roots and dirt still attached.

In the Walmart Produce Section, I bought some little pots of fresh herbs..basil, dill, and sage. Dummy me, I stuck them, pots and all in my little greenhouse, which got in the high eighties today with tons of sun. Having been in the nice cool produce section, not in scorching sunlight, the only one that looks happy is the sage.

I did see they are grown in Wilcox Arizona, but forget the name. There are always different ones, thai basil, chives, oregano, the ones I bought...

I think Texokie might have been the one that was experimenting with various stuff from the store. It should work for the tarragon. That’s supposed to be cold tolerant to zone 5, but it doesn’t do very well outside here. I usually have to bring it in the house for winter.
