This review is from: Llewellyn's 2009 Herbal Almanac (Annuals - Herbal Almanac) (Paperback)

This book is in depth and gives the information you need about herbs, and also recommends when to plant certain ones, how to.... It's like a garden guide, but then also has the witch's side of the coin with how to dry them, how to use them, and about planting during moon phases and such.
I know I'll be consulting this book in the spring when I plant my herbs again!
