Vegetables, Herbs and Fruit: An Illustrated… de Matthew Biggs
An excellent book, even for container gardening.
I haven't had occasion to use this a lot but it has helped out when I get a large bunch of something and am searching for uses.
Jekka is the queen of herbs for a reason and this book delivers that knowledge to the home gardner.
Displaying herbs in a beautiful layout along side information for growing, cultivating, culinary and medicinal uses this book is a great resource for a beginner and intermediate grower.
