Herbs: The Complete Gardener's Guide
Herbs: The Complete Gardener's Guide is not just for gardeners. This book will appeal to many readers who use herbs in the intertwining pastimes of cooking, brewing, folk medicine, and home-based crafts. Author Patrick Lima is a lively writer, and his passion for the simple pleasures associated with growing herbs is evident on every page. He describes picking fresh leaves for the kitchen, making a pot of fragrant tea, travelling down memory lane on a whiff of costmary or rue, and tousling the lavender in order to breathe in its calming scent. Herbs is less a quick reference than an excuse to linger over a cup of mint tea while savouring tales of tending herbs at Larkwhistle--the author's rural western Ontario garden--along with anecdotes about his grandmother, neighbours, and friends. "In the fall, we often hang herb bundles from a dowel suspended above the woodstove, where the rising heat crisps them perfectly in three days. A neighbour hangs herbs from the rafters of her unfinished attic. A barn, garden, shed or shady screened porch is also a good drying space. " The photographs by Turid Forsyth are superb, and recipes for simple dishes, teas, and potpourris mean the herbal harvest need never go unused. --Carolyn Leitch Author(s): Patrick Lima.
