[.uk] Little Herb Gardens: Simple Secrets for Glorious ... (ISBN 0811802493)

A sweet useful gem of a book....:
First let me admit I am biased, since this gem is written by someone I know and admire, here in Northern California. But it nonetheless a gem of a book with superb photographs as well as excellent advise on Do's and Don't of raising a variety of herbs. I also like the book because it shows that one can successfully raise year round fresh herbs, and do so on an acre or on a small patio. And the author also covers edible flowers another favorite of my families.

A book to get you started.:
If you're the type of person that likes to do things without a lot of theory, this is a great book. I'm a novice gardener and the introduction gardening instructions just didn't have enough information for me. I decided to purchase Gardening For Dummies and various other books to satisfy my need for detailed information before setting some serious time, money, and effort into a balcony garden for my apartment. This book has great ideas and did a good job of introducing me to different herbs and plants to grow to be used in cooking. But if you want to get more "hardcore" with gardening I recommend getting other texts as well.

good little herb book:
I got this book for my mom for mother's day and ended up reading all the way through it before I gave it to her. It has great ideas for various containers and gives good details for each different herb. Well rounded, detailed, and focused.

Lovely:
This is such a nice book and nicely put together. Whether I read or just browse through it, it just makes me feel good.

Growing Herbs at Home.:
This seems to be a really good book on growing Herbs for Brown thumbs like me. I have not actually used any of the advice/tips yet but all sound very easy and understandable. I will wait a little longer to start again with growing Herbs again. (Weather)
