by Penelope Hobhouse (Introduction), Jekka Mcvicar (Author)
Jekka McVicar has spent over twenty years growing herbs. She knows from experience which herbs will grow, and grow well; and which will succeed when grown at home. Her practical knowledge as a herb farmer is second to none, and is constantly increasing as new varities come on the market, or as she experiments with improved species. Only the herbs that Jekka has first hand experience of are included in this guide - some 335 of them. All are accompanied by tips on seasonalcultivation, growing from seed and cuttings, along with their individual history. All of this is augmented by over 200 culinary ideas and recipes.
