Since I can remember I’ve always wanted to grow some of my own veggies and also grow and use herbs. I’ve done some of the first with various ranges of success and still want to do the second.
Norah Halstead has written a good general case for growing your own veggies and herbs organically both for your improved health and for the sake of the planet. She explains that you can enjoy this no matter how limited your space is, and walks you through what you need to know to create a rich environment for your plants. She managed to punch through most of my intimidation about growing, storing, and using herbs, both for my cooking and the idea of using some for medicinal purposes. The more medicines I end up taking, the more I would LIKE to be able to go as natural as possible when I can.
I would like her to concentrate on a book JUST about herbs, giving more information about what each herb does, more hints about how to grow each, when to harvest, more information about storing them after harvest, how to store the seeds for next season, and more.
