"Small and Deutsch describe more than 50 species of herbs, with extensive notes on their cultivation, harvest, culinary or medicinal uses, and health cautions (if any). Besides standards like basil and oregano (shown at left), the authors discuss less commonly grown ones, such as lovage and sweet cicely." --Dick Bushnell, Sunset

This review is from: Culinary Herbs for Short-Season Gardeners (Paperback)
The collaborative effort of Ernest Small and Grace Deutsch, Culinary Herbs For Short-season Gardeners is a beautifully and colorfully illustrated instructional and reference guide which is ideal for non-specialist general readers seeking to cultivate and make the most of fresh herbs from their gardens. More than fifty annual and perennial herbs are listed, along with descriptions, cultivation and harvesting notes, medicinal uses, trivia, and a great deal more. From gardening, to garnish, to medicinal usages, Culinary Herbs For Short-season Gardeners is an excellent enhancement to personal and community library gardening reference collections.
