Growing Seeds! Starting from Scratch
ISBN# 1555913954
$12.95
Fulcrum Publishing
Description
I like to help people learn about gardening. I wrote this book because people are forgetting how to start plants from seed. It’s so easy! And it’s fun. A person who grows a plant from seed is a lot more interested in that plant than in any plant they just bought somewhere. After more than 20 years in the seed business, I know well that the newer generations of Americans don’t have a clue about how to plant seeds and what fun -- and how economical -- it can be. This book is well suited to both adults and children or, better yet, both at the same time.

ISBN: 13 978-0-88192-822-8
$29.95
Timber Press
barbaralawton@cs.com
Description
Here is a gardener’s introduction to one of the most distinctive plant families. The umbrella-like flowers mark the members of the umbel family. Umbel-bearing plants have aromatic oils in their foliage and fruits, and many are used as herbs, spices and foods—anise, caraway, carrot, celery, coriander, cumin, dill, lovage, and, of course, parsley and fennel. In such a diverse family there are many surprises, such as the fact that Queen Anne’s lace, familiar in fields and waysides, is the ancestor of the cultivated carrot. Many umbels are valued additions to the ornamental garden. For example, Miss Willmott’s ghost, Eryngium giganteum, is a strikingly architectural perennial, one with a fascinating history.

Written in a friendly and accessible style, this book includes history and lore, modern usage, cultivation, and a catalog of species and cultivars in 67 genera. Mint will be a fascinating book for anyone interested in these herbs, whether for their culinary values or for their ornamental offerings.

Ballantine Wellspring
Description
Both a gardening and a cookbook, The Herbal Epicure is on a mission. It seeks to nudge readers not only into growing healthful and medicinal plants, but into preparing them in ways that are delicious first and good-for-you merely as a distant afterthought. Only the most mouth watering recipes were allowed into this book because the author believes that food that is healthful, but tasteless and ill-prepared starves the spirit.
