Herbs for Healing - Useful Quotes & Book Recommendation

Many of our gardens have already become inundated with herbs, flowers, and even the beginnings of fruit! Due to our penchant for creating an overabundance of herbs at every turn, some of us are really getting into this helpful, yet inexpensively priced book collection.

Here is an excerpt:


"Because not all herbs grow all year round, it can be of interest to preserve them.
When drying herbs it is important not to dry them in the sunlight as the sun can burn away many of the volatile oils.
To dry herbs perfectly, one needs special equipment yet some can be done at home. Best not to delay too much when drying, begin the drying process when the herbs are freshly picked and placed in a drying cupboard. Make sure you clean the herbs first so they are ready to be packaged and used. Glass is the best storage method for herbs."


The majority of ideas presented within are quite basic and easy to follow (even a child could enjoy it). We have spent only a day or so poring over its contents, and are delighted with the collection thus far.
