![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. The most complete and concise book of herbs on the market. ( ![]() 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. No garden library is complete without this book! A fantastic, thorough reference on using herbs for a variety of purposes. 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. no reviews | add a review
