From Booklist
Peterson takes the mystique out of herb growing in a handbook covering the fundamentals of growing the most familiar and commonly used herbs. Beginning with basil and ending up with thyme, Peterson offers easy-to-follow counsel on the requirements of plant care and culture, propagation, and methods of preserving 10 various herbs. Herbal lore enlivens the advice, while for each featured herb there are surprisingly simple but delectable recipes included. This no-nonsense introduction provides gardeners with a solid, basic text.
