By The Taste for Life Staff

Herb Gardening from the Ground Up: Everything You Need to Know About Growing Your Favorite Herbs by Sal Gilbertie and Larry Sheehan ($16.99, Ten Speed Press, 2012) Whether you're thinking of starting an herb garden or already have one, this book can help. With advice on how to design wildly different types of gardens from culinary Tex-Mex (cayenne pepper, coriander, Mexican oregano) and French Chef (chervil, leeks, shallots) to color-blooming blue and purple or silver gardens, there's a plan for you. Information on how to source seeds, prepare soil, plant, cultivate, harvest, and store herbs can be found in this step-by-step guide. Ideas on honeybee gardens, tips on how to bring plants indoors, and advice on which herbs to plant in containers are included.
