From the cultivation of herbs to their use- Szabolcs Megyeri

Whatever the size of your garden, or whether you have a small raised bed on your patio or front garden, it's worth planting some of your favourite herbs 'close at hand' so you can always use the few stems you need fresh.

This book gives you a concise and brief overview of the basics of 33 herbs. For successful cultivation, you'll get help on how to choose a plant - from seed or seedlings - in sun or shade - what type of soil to use - how to care for it - when to water - how often and what to feed it - when to pick it for the richest aroma - and how to propagate it - and advice on wintering. You will also get advice on how to use the herb when it is harvested and what to do with it.
