Hi @troyunrau, @thererdozensofus is most likely right.
Wild tarragon, Artemesia dracunculus (same sp. as culinary tarragon), is variable in smell/taste. In SoCal, some have no taste, I am told other pop's do.
There is a range map here for Canada and U.S., bonap.net
I like to wait until there is the faintest red blush, or even just a lightening of the green that promises to become red.
For maximum vitamin C they can also be eaten fully red, and will be sweeter. Experiment ho find your own taste.
mbelcher is right, too, if you need a couple rn, go for it.
Great harvest on a beautifully healthy plant!
It would help people to ID if you can reply with a flower pic (yes, grasses have flowers) and a state, or at least a region. :)
If no one can ID, you can also post it to inaturalist.
Fifthing (can't second) Douglas Adams.
Especially love the Dirk Gently books. Seconding Bill Bryson.
In no particular order: Donald E Westlake, Dortmunder series Dave Barry, Big Trouble
*Janet Evanovich, One for the Money and etc. Donna Andrews, Murder with Peacocks and etc.

Hi greatwhiteBuffalo41, Thanks for this great list!
I don't actually see calscape.org(a project of cnps.org) on the list, even though your reply suggests it is there.
Would you consider calflora.org what grows here? https://www.calflora.org/entry/wgh.html
It is great for creating hyperlocal plant lists in California.

So true. Every biologist I know has been depressed for 20+ years.

Left: Agave 'Blue Flame'. I do not know the conifer
Zones are helpful, but region will help a lot more, and also hopefully call in plant people from the area.
Sadly, not my region. ;-)
