Tarragon ~

Tomstrees - don't laugh - I really might be able to send you a rooted sprig, if you can reimburse me for postage. I've mailed rooted cuttings safely in the past. Normally, I just pot them up, water them well, put them in a sealed ziplock bag, box them, and mail them. (Just like the mail-order nurseries!) Sometimes I don't even bother potting them up, but just wrap the roots in paper towels. You're only in NJ so the plants wouldn't be traveling for very long.

Alternatively, do you know about the big plant swap next month in Burtonsville Maryland? There's information on the Mid-Atlantic forum of THAT OTHER SITE. I can bring a tarragon division there, if you feel like a day trip.

Then again, you could just go to a really good local nursery and buy a small plant for a buck and a half. That's how I got mine originally.
