Fantastic reference book for herb lovers. Provides tips on how to grow, how to use, recommemded species, and other odds and ends. I keep this handy in my kitchen for when my herb garden is going crazy.

I liked the premise of this book, but the follow through didn't quite cut it for me. I'm not a native Ohioan, so the things they talked about were foreign to me, and they didn't really explain anything further. I did get some pointers, but I would have much preferred more information.

On the other hand, there were good ideas for gardening through the year, no matter where you live - a sort of gardening journal. I did really like that part.

2 plus stars - just not a solid 3.
