"Homegrown Herbs" A Book Review

I have been researching herbal gardens. I finally found a great book, "Homegrown Herbs: A Complete Guide to Growing, Using, and enjoying More than 100 Herbs" by Tammi Hartung

This book was exactly what I was looking for. It covered everything from designing the herbal garden to soil preparation, propagation methods for different herbs, pest and disease control to harvesting herbs, drying them, making tinctures, cooking...so many topics.

The book is very well written. It is very concise and to the point. Finding the  information you are looking for is very easy. I especially love the charts that are provided - they make finding information about specific herbs sooo easy.

Just reading my gardening books is getting me so excited for gardening time to begin!!!
