I haven't been able to find a tarragon plant. The rosemary is in a big pot. I have a full Scarborough Fair, along with basil, oregano, several mints, summer savory, chives and several lavenders.

I have often seen my postal carrier just pausing in between these two bushes, inhaling the fragrance, before proceeding to haul my days' worth of recycling (catalogs and junk mail make up 90% of the mail I get - it goes straight to the recycling bin) to deposit it at my front door. I see people buying small packets of rosemary at $3-$5/pop at Whole Foods, and invite them to my house to please snip off what they want - for free!

I love it. I wove rosemary, dried wheat and rosebuds as my 'crown' for my wedding. We had a large plant outside the massage school I attended and on break you would find several students breaking off a bit and sniffing it to wake up in the afternoon. If you can get a good sea salt scrub, add chopped rosemary to it for a stimulating wake-up shower. I use 25 drops of eucalyptus oil, rosemary oil and tea tree oil in 2 oz water as a summer spray to repel mosquitos. You might have to apply it every 30-45 minutes, but they really don't like it, and it's natural and not harmful. Rosemary makes me delirious. I love it.
