The main types of herbs are described in this handy volume, with information about the varieties that can be grown, their history, cultivation requirements and cooking uses. There is key advice on planting outdoors, planting indoors, growing in containers, growing from seed, taking cuttings, diving plants, harvesting and storing. The section on cultivation details information on caring for each type of herb, including when and where to plant them, and how to deal with pests and diseases. There are more than a dozen detailed step-by-step projects as well as over 200 specially commissioned full-colour photographs.

Good book
4 May 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Im a beginner and i wanted a book with some useful information on herbs. This book goes over several different types fairly well all while showing you how to store them after harvest. I learned a lot and its worth a buy. This is not the perfect all knowing book, it is small, but well worth the $.
