mikeg said:Dill's an annual...it may re-seed... but it's usually best sown every year.
I find it fascinating how plants will behave in different climates... dill seeds simply will not survive our winters... yet rosemary, bay laurel, and greek "rigani" oregano overwinter nicely here.D3monic said:It reseeds itself. I have a hard time just keepign it contained
thanks for the head up on the cilantro, I'll isolate them in a different area of the garden.geeme said:Yeah, basil plants are much like chile plants - let them get too cold and they die.
This year's herb grow included:
Rosemary (still going)
Woolly Thyme
Tarragon
Golden Oregano
Green Onion
Purple Basil
All grown in pots. I grew cilantro last year, but will never do that again. They were a total aphid magnet. One could argue that they kept the aphids away from the chile plants, especially since I kept them separate, but who wants massive amounts of aphids anywhere???
...try dipping sprigs of blackstem peppermint in melted semi-sweet chocolate, and garnish cake or ice-cream with it.... numnumnum!dragonsfire said:Tea, Chocolate
French tarragon is quite nice.. some seed merchants offer seed -- which should be avoided... Tarragon from seed is actually known in the spice trade as 'Russian tarragon', with inferior flavor when compared to French tarragon.SavinaRed said:Tarragon is a spice I would like to add to my garden as well.

French tarragon doesn't breed true from seed. Buying live plants is your best choice.
