In the ninth installment of their prairie gardening series, seasoned (ahem) gardeners Janet Melrose and Sheryl Normandeau answer all your questions about growing these culinary, medicinal, and spiritually beneficial plants, including their potential for use in pest management and as hardy lawn replacements. Beginning with the where (containers, raised beds, spirals, and more), the pair then provide guidance on choosing healthy plants, how to nurture herb seedlings, soil needs, watering, dealing with aggressive spreaders (hello, mint!), pest prevention, overwintering--including how not to kill that potted rosemary you brought inside for its own darn good--and lots of ideas for storing and enjoying your herbal goodies, from drying and freezing to making tasty infused oils, vinegars, and butters. The final chapter is a roundup of herbs for all occasions and locations, including the pair's top choices for insect repellers, butterfly and hummingbird attractors, edible flowers, and ingredients for herbal tisanes."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Herb gardening $z Prairie Provinces. 650 0 $a Herbs $z Prairie Provinces. 650 0 $a Gardening $z Prairie Provinces. 655 7 $a handbooks. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300311807. 655 7 $a Handbooks and manuals. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Normandeau, Sheryl, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031859.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95D53E7C383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
