<<< I've been reading a great herb book which has some detailed info
on the particular herbs. I'd like to learn about more different
herbs though and more specifics on using them. Does anyone have
recommendations? I am interested in cooking uses, medical uses, and
other useful functions such as making dyes. >>>
Well, I don't have any particular books in mind, but you might want
to look through the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of my
Florilegium site. The address is given in my sig line below.
A few files are:
