The Complete Herb Book, Oct 6 2008
By Diane S. Clark - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Herb Book (Paperback)
What an extensive encyclopedia of information from A-Z! Complete information in easy to use format with information from propagation, pests and diseases, maintenance, garden cultivation, harvesting, companion planting, container growing, medicinal uses, other uses, and culinary applications & more! I made the Chive Butter and it's hmmmm, hmmmm, good on sweet corn on the cob! Next I plan to try the Sweet Marigold Muffins. It also has info on planning a herb garden with 10 sample plans, beautiful photographys throughout, how to preserve herbs by drying and freezing, and making and using natural dyes! It's a 5 star addition to my extensive herb library.

Great Herb Growing/Using Book, Mar 29 2009
By Cathryn L. Martin "Cat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Herb Book (Paperback)
This is another book I checked out of the library and had to add to my permanent collection. This is a great book with color pictures of each plant outlined, how to grow it, how to harvest it, and how to use it. That sounds trite and boring, but let me assure you, this book spends time on each plant, the left page deals with the planting and harvesting and the right page deals with the storage and use of the herb. Each herb has a recipe of some type (for food, for cosmetics, for aromatics, etc.) that has a picture of the completed item. I have a couple of other herb books that I like, but this one I LOVE to look through and will be adding a few more herbs to my garden each season based on this book!
