HERB - Back From the War

Clare,

>now he can do something besides make really tasty mead and such <G>

Yes, he can <G>.  He's already planning for LPT, it should be a lot of fun.

>BTW.  If I get around to ordering some of the wild strawberries, you can
>have one... not the same but it's a fill in.

Thank you!  That's wonderful, I appreciate it.  Though I'm still hoping mine
will revive...

Jasmine,

We haven't gotten far enough in unpacking for me to give you the titles yet,
but I know I picked up the Gervaise Markham book (THE ENGLISH HOUSEWIFE, I
think?).  I know I have another similar book, cookbooks, at least one herb
garden book, and a pamphlet of sweet bags and pomander recipes.

>Now the big thing I really wanted was that $100+ copy of Gerard's
>Herbal 

I sighed over it for a while, too <G>.  And I wish more of the texts of ANY
period book was available on-line.  I'm having a terrible time tracking down
copies of some books, and they've all been in print within the last 10 or 15
years.

Glad your luck with the plants was better than mine.  I didn't lose anything
crucial, I was just particularly fond of the strawberry, it was a pain getting
it started.  I get attached to some of my plants <G>.

Yes, Aleecia was telling the story of the horn.  She was so touched that they
wanted hear the story of the Pennsic War horn from her.  I think she was also
telling about the origins of Dark Yard, which goes back a little further than
the horn.
