Home Gardener's Herb Gardens is the essential guide to growing herbs
and designing, planting, improving, and caring for herb gardens. People
now use herbs in their cooking on an everyday basis and there's nothing
nicer than being able to go out into your garden, snip some fresh herbs
and put them straight into the pot. The beauty of an herb garden is that
it does not have to be big - it can be part of a larger garden or it can
merely be a window box. More than 330 color illustrations and diagrams,
backed with easily followed text, help gardeners at all skill levels
learn to buy, plant, tend, and harvest a rich bounty of herbs. Complete
herb identification and growing instructions are provided for annuals,
biennials, bulbs, herbaceous perennials, and shrub-like herbs. There are
also planting patterns for a compact cartwheel garden, corner and narrow
planting beds, and formal herb gardens, and much more--plus information
on preparing herbs for culinary use.
