I was wondering if anyone has any information on Texas Tarragon? I have one plant and it's growing great, but the heat and wind and sprinklers made it lay over on the ground and it's still growing from there. Should I trim it back, or what? I have never had any Tarragon grow before in this heat, so now I don't know what to do. Sorry I know this is way off the subject, but this is the first time I have ever posted anything and I was having trouble getting on to post anything. Is there anyone that can help me?
I've never grown "Texas Tarragon," but I'd guess you could cut it back to harvest it or just to pinch it back a bit, and it would respond by bushing out, just like most herbs do. I'd say if it's happy laying over on the ground, don't mess with success by trying to stake it up... that might do more harm than good in the midst of summer heat.
There's also an active Herb Forum here at DG, but for full access you have to be a subscriber... something I really recommend anyway to anybody who's interested in gardening! $5 will get you a 2 month trial subscription so you can check things out here over the summer... or you might decide to just take the plunge and subscribe for a year. (Dave doesn't ask me to recruit subscribers... but it's the best money I spend on my garden each year, and I can't resist suggesting it to people when I get a chance!)
