As an avid gardener who has never really made a serious attempt to grow herbs, I was eager to read this book! It does a great job of explaining the various types of herbs and what they can be used for. I have mostly thought of them as food additives but to know they can provide essential oils, delicious scents, and medicinal properties makes them all the more desirable to grow at home.Tom Ford does a very good job of explaining the various ways they can be grown and their needs for light, water and fertilization. There is so much good information in the book that I was beginning to wonder how I was ever going to be able to quickly find it again in the book when, voila! he included a quick chart listing the herbs with their pertinent facts.I would recommend this book to anyone interested in starting to grow their own herbs, even if just on their kitchen windowsill.
