Toni, I can easily find marjoram and tarragon as 2-4" starts in local nurseries. The sorrel I believe I bought from Crimson Sage Nursery (mail order down in Oregon). Marjoram is similar to thyme in growth habit and taste, but a bit milder. I like it better than thyme. Sorrel I use as a salad ingredient, it has a very fresh taste to it, kind of sharp or lemony (I can never quite pinpoint the taste but I really like it). I've seen recipes for sorrel soup, but have never tried it. Tarragon has a definite licorice flavor to it, but I find it does not usually over-winter for me so treat it as an annual. I also grow Mexican tarragon, which is a form of marigold (tagetes lucida) which can be used in place of tarragon. Per its name, it also has some slight psychotropic properties (you can dry it and smoke or use in tea, it's very mild). I see you are in my neck of the woods PNW, where abouts? I'm up in the Stanwood/Mount Vernon area of Washington. If you are close by, I would happily chunk off some of both the marjoram and sorrel for you -- and anything else you might want (you could view My List and narrow the search to herbs). Most herbs are very prolific and divide easily.
