In my New England herb garden, tarragon comes back year after year; though the leaves are delicate, the plant itself is a hardy perennial. In the kitchen, tarragon falls into the love-it-or-hate-it category. You can probably guess that I love it. Tarragon pairs particularly well with chicken, eggs, and fish. Do you love it, or hate it?
This is something I don't ever remember tasting until I grew it myself, and now I completely love it!

Definitely love.
I have to admit, working on an herb farm for twelve years, I've come to love most herbs.
I agree, wonderful with chicken and eggs. I throw it in salad as well. Fish? I'll have to give that a shot.
It's also pretty!

Kalyn, for some reason, before I grew my own, I always associated tarragon with "fancy" restaurant food (this must have gone back way, way back for me). Now I can't imagine not having it in the garden.
Connie, you worked on an herb farm? What fun!

LOVE it! We grow it here in Albuquerque, and I throw a large handful into most salads. Lydia, you introduced me to it as a home-grown herb. Thank you!
