Herbs For Health
by: Doole, Louise
For window-sill gardeners, suburban and country folk, those of you who
get a thrill from making your own gifts for Christmas and other occasions
and, of course, gourmet cooks – in fact, for nearly every cook –
raising herbs is an exciting, satisfying hobby. These plants thrive in
poor soil and often with a minimum of sunlight, and you don't even need
a great deal of space. Many of the most highly valued herbs can be grown
successfully indoors. Herbs make decorative house plants, and are fragrant
as well as pretty. Herbs grown outdoors are lovely in almost any spot
– scattered among your vegetables, sown between paving stones, on
terraces and walks, along fences, or climbing up a bird bath. Some herbs
make attractive hedges and border plants. You can make herb vinegars,
teas, sugars, salts, jellies, candies, sachets, floral bouquets, place
cards and tallies. In Herbs For Health—How To Grow & Use Them
you'll find dozens of delightful uses for the herbs you grow. Lots of
illustrations. 138 pgs.
