What growing zone are you in now, @dragnlaw? Is it colder than 4? French Tarragon and most sage varieties are considered resistant to zone 4.

Canada uses a different scale to the U.S. Toronto/Hamilton is considered a Zone 6. (I think that is the equivalent to your Zone 5 (?)). Although it is considered both 5 & 6.
Do you harvest the rose hips? I love rose hip tea. Yes, roses actually have a fruit.When the deer ate my tomato plants I replaced them with a different kind. But I don't think they're growing at all. I also found some cherry tomato seeds and planted those, even though it's late in the season. Of course, they're not growing either. So I guess cherry tomatoes are off the menu this year.
Meantime the Seascape strawberries are going crazy. Looks like I'm going to have those to enjoy. The Eversweet, which were eaten by the deer, are coming back but not very robustly. Is that a word?
The climbing rose has over two dozen blossoms on it. Yay! And I might get five blueberries this season. *sigh*
I finally got the flower bed in front of the trailer weeded (first time in two years) and some seeds planted. I had gotten those rolls of flower seed - you know, unroll, water, and they grow. Well, they don't actually, unless you cover them with dirt, so that's what I did. I have far more of those seeded rolls than I needed, so tomorrow I'm going to cut them up into 6" squares, take them to the back 40, and plant them.
The grass is coming up, but there's a lot of bare patches, so a lot of the yard will need to be reseeded. The contractor dumped two more loads of soil in the yard so that has to be spread. I think the meadow grass in the back is just now coming up, but I think I may have way overwatered everything. I let everything sort of dry out because we're supposed to get between 1.5" and 3" of rain tomorrow and Monday. Time to get the canoes out again!
Thank you Dragn.Nice Katy, well done.
