   None No current Talk conversations about this book. The most complete and concise book of herbs on the market. (  ) Mootastic1 | Jan 15, 2016 |  Informative and entertaining, this encyclopedia has already helped me improve my black thumb to more of a yellowish hue. Practical information such as ideal planting times and soil conditions fill sidebars, while the main pages are devoted to beautiful (and useful) illustrations and explanations of the history/uses/growing conditions of each herb. So far its information helped me save some flagging basil and lavender plants, and grow dill and sage from seed. ( ) ArmchairAuthor | Jul 3, 2014 | No garden library is complete without this book! ( ) smbmom | Sep 21, 2007 | A fantastic, thorough reference on using herbs for a variety of purposes. (  ) herebedragons | Feb 9, 2007 | Excellent resource, covers so many different herbs from so many angles. This will probably be my main reference because its the best I've read so far and covers everything I could possibly need to know. (  ) countrymouse | Aug 10, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
