My new herb garden is growing like crazy. This afternoon I harvested a few pieces of tarragon, coriander and dill and chopped them up finely. They keep really well in small ziplock bags in the freezer to have on hand whenever there isn't enough of the fresh variety in the garden. Now I am looking for some recipes to use the tarragon in as it is the first time I have ever grown it.
Updated Dec 12. Oh no - I was just reading Stephanie Alexander's Kitchen Garden Companion and she recommends growing French Tarragon as it is much more flavoured than Russian. I just checked my seed packet and......yes, mine is Russian. :( Better luck next time.

Eatingwell website has a recipe for Tarragon Chicken which is really yummy and pretty quick & easy.
Thanks Pam I will try it out. Do you grow tarragon? the russian or the french variety? I wonder how much of a difference there is in taste.
I believe the Russian tarragon tastes like grass
I hope you are kidding Ms P.Print. Anyway you can taste it for yourself soon.
I have french tarragon, and can give you a cutting when I see you next. It tastes almost aniseed-y.
Thanks Pam - does it grow from cuttings? I grew my Russian from seed.
