Speaking of herbs, does that author have any advice about tarragon or oregano? I have both in the ground as an experiment, and hope that they come back with vigor next Spring. They are still producing very nicely, but I know at some point, I will have to “let go” until next year.

Nothing on tarragon, evidently not a medicinal herb.

Oregano- info is that it’s a general nectary herb & perennial.

I have oregano in my herb garden & it is blooming now - bees love it.

Early this spring, I found the oregano had majorly spread & was like a ‘mat’ on one end of the raised bed. I literally chopped the whole mat out (several large pieces), then replanted a piece about the size of a bread plate. That little piece is now about the size of the mat I had this spring, so it looks like I will have to chop it back again. I might try a half buried rhizome barrier to see if containing it that way will work.

I checked my other herb book ‘Alchemy of Herbs’ - no tarragon or oregano discussed.
