RE: Planting in the New Herb Garden - May 30, 2019 @goldenoakfarm
Do you experiment with which herbs acclimate to your garden? I'm still figuring out what will cope with our extreme climate and poor soil. The tarragon didn't make it to a third year, but the fennel had taken off like crazy and its a similar flavour, so I'm sticking with that.

Yes, and I had some surprises this year. Lavender has never survived here, but 1 of them did this year! No idea why....
Thyme might take a hit but mostly survives well, but not this year....
Santolina never survived here but made it through the winter this year...
Russian tarragon has been in the same place since 1992. French tarragon usually dies except for that one this year, no matter where I plant it.
So I just never know...
