Tarragon isn’t a widely grown herb at home, but it is well worth it especially if you like French cuisine, for which it is a popular and traditional ingredient.
It is particularly used to enhance the flavor of fish and chicken dishes and is much prized for its aniseed-like flavor.
Tarragon is a perennial, and one plant will give you masses of leaves to pick over several years.

My zoysia grass suffered over the winter and I went on a limb to buy a few small bags of seed to repair some bald spots in my lawn. Much to my surprise the seed is coming out after a week and I am expecting wonderful results. Happy camper.
