Your plant nemesis

[bridgetmkennitt]

We all have at least one. It's that plant that you try to grow and grow, but for some reason or another, it just dies or doesn't bloom or doesn't grow any vegetables.

What plant do you consider your nemesis?

French tarragon. I love it, but it will not grow for me. Maybe it hates clay soils? I'm baffled.

Data point: it grows like gangbusters for me in dry, sandy, rocky, infertile soil that's pretty much the opposite of clay. So it could be a soil thing.

Stupid French tarragon. It should learn how to be loved in return.

Oh, man. That one is tricky. I can sometimes get it to work in a pot, at least for a couple of years at a whack, but never in the ground.
