Tarragon growing is a simple process, and with some care and knowledge, you can start enjoying the fresh flavor of tarragon as early as May. Plant the herb in a container, or on a raised platform to make it easier. Root rot can be avoided by watering the plants frequently, but not overwatering them. It is important to water the plants properly, but not excessively. The best time to pick the leaves is May, as this is the best time to do so. Younger leaves are better tasting than older leaves.
You can also start your seeds indoors in April if you don't want to plant them in the ground. Try to plant them before the last frost date. Use moist, well-compostable potting soil about 12 to 16 inches in depth. Water thoroughly and add a few clumps of compost. Your tarragon plants should be fertilized every few weeks. They can be transplanted into the garden once they reach heights of 4-6 inches. If you have no intention of eating them, leave the pots where you can enjoy your tarragon all year round.
If you're considering planting tarragon, make sure it gets plenty of sunlight. The tarragon will thrive in any garden soil. Because tarragon grows quickly, it's best if you plant it outdoors for at the least two weeks to help it adjust to its surroundings. If you're planting it in a pot, you may want to divide the root ball to start a new plant. Be sure to keep the soil moist up until the cuttings grow roots.
For healthy tarragon roots, ensure that your soil is well-drained and does not retain too much moisture. To help the roots of the tarragon, you can add some compost to the bottom. The soil should be evenly moist and dry so as not to over-water the plant. It is possible to harvest the leaf once it has grown sufficiently large to be harvested.
Tarragon does well indoors. Although it is best to grow the herb in direct sunlight, you can plant it in a container or outside. The herb should only be grown as an annual in cooler areas. It is easy-to-grow and seldom suffers from pests or diseases. It can also be grown indoors if it isn't growing outside. It can be used as a kitchen ingredient, because it has an anise flavor.
If you have a dedicated space for tarragon, it will not need much attention. This type of herb can be grown in large pots. You can use a large pot to create a barrier for a larger garden. However, make sure the roots are kept moist. Before you plant the herb, ensure that the area has been properly drained. If you want to harvest tarragon, it will need a sunny, well-drained spot.
