... A few years ago, I bought about 10 Tesco pots of Thyme and planted it
out en masse.

Initially, it did flop horribly but then grew properly and lasted about
4 years. However, the flavour was inferior after a year or so.

Chives seem to do ok, as long as you trim them right back as soon as you
purchase them and don't harvest them again for a couple of months 'til they
get established.

I am me, this is now, we are here!

What ever you are going to try, do try to find out when they get them
into the store and buy them the day they arive, after they have been
in store 3 or 4 days , poor light no water etc not half the chance.
You can also look at the packets of fresh herbs, you can take viable
cuttings from rosemary, thyme, taragon all will root, if treated with
care.

How tender is Tarragon David? I planted a pot in my herb garden (back
garden) and it has disappeared!!!
