Well, here is a goodly section of a period manual. It's missing some sections
until I can find the digest number the earlier messages were on, but it's
free. In the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of the Florilegium:
Palladius-art     (41K) 11/18/99    Palladius' treatise on gardening 1420.

And these might also be of use:
p-agriculture-bib (19K)  3/23/99    Bibliography of period agricultural 
                                       practices by Laurie Brandt (Pegasus)
gardening-bib      (9K)  6/ 3/99    Bibliography on medieval gardening 
                                       by Raisya Khorivovna.
