Step-by-step Herbs a good Primer

This is a good starter for the home herb gardener with information for both large and small gardens. Included is a good herb encyclopedia which includes information on size, when to plant, uses from cosemtic to medicinal to foods but most important of all, soil, light and climate requirements. As with most BH & G books, the pictures are a balance of beauty and those of a more practical step-by-step nature. The book is filled with helpful hints such as those for planting but controlling invasive plants such as mint. I could have used that information at our first house! The information is helpful, but I found myself wishing for a bit more information and deatail for specific herbs, perhaps because I am a new home herb gardener. However, I feel that I will use the book and enjoy the photos and ideas as well.
