What can I say...I'm a complete fool for things that grow in my subsistence herb farm - which is just a window box - with just enough light, it seems.

In case you haven't followed the epic tale of one tarragon plant's survival through a harsh New York winter, here's the link. And here's the update: this tough little plant has done more than survive - it's thrived to the point of offering it's tender leaves for quite a few omelettes so far.
