The only way I can think of to describe the growth rate in our garden right now is woes, woester, woesste. I can see the basil grow when I turn my back for a moment, and the tarragon is as sneaky. Peter harvested a large bunch of tarragon this morning for his summer speciality, tarragon mayonnaise. We will have some for sale in our deli fridge.
