Details: Product Description Nothing tastes better than herbs fresh from the garden. Discover how easy and rewarding it is to grow your own! Simple instructions, tempting dishes, and beautiful full-color photographs will inspire you to grow, harvest, preserve, and cook with 26 of the most popular kitchen herbs, including basil, chives, cilantro, dill, fennel, garlic, lavender, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, and tarragon. Your pantry will soon be filled with seasoned salts, Provençal vinegar, and caraway cookies. From Booklist While there may be a real trick to growing luscious heirloom tomatoes and a necessary dedication to raising a crop of good-for-you beans, herbs are not quite so demanding in terms of time or space; yet these little garden powerhouses can make a big impact in almost any dish. From zesty sauce staples like garlic and oregano to the more nuanced flavors of marjoram and tarragon, herbs are a must in the kitchen as well as in the landscape. And while Smith's beginner's guide may be a gem of simplicity, it's also chock-full of supplemental information including sumptuous recipes and inventive tips for household applications. Each herb's profile covers the many ways it can be harvested and used, and Smith includes helpful at-a-glance charts summarizing pertinent cultural information such as soil and light requirements, mature height, and planting distances. Perfect for novice gardeners, Smith's compact guide can also be appreciated by experienced hands who want to get back to the basics. --Carol Haggas From the Inside Flap Grow, Eat, and Preserve 26 Herbs Anise Hyssop Basil Bay Laurel Bee Balm Borage Calendula Caraway Catnip Chives Cilantro & Coriander Dill Fennel Garlic Hyssop Lavender Lemon Balm Lemon Verbena Marjoram Mint Oregano Parsley Rosemary Sage Savory Tarragon Thyme From the Back Cover Grow, Eat, and Preserve 26 Herbs Anise Hyssop Basil Bay Laurel Bee Balm Borage Calendula Caraway Catnip Chives Cilantro & Coriander Dill Fennel Garlic Hyssop Lavender Lemon Balm Lemon Verbena Marjoram Mint Oregano Parsley Rosemary Sage Savory Tarragon Thyme About the Author A former horticulturalist for White Flower Farm, Charles W.G.
