Interested in PLANTS! what best books? or Websites!?

Question

especially the herbs and the edible

Answer 1

You should go to a Bookstore near you.

I recently went to Borders and noticed they had many books related to plants in the SALE section.

These are very interesting books but not many people buy them.  If I were you I would take advantage of this opportunity.

And remember, dont judge the book by its cover.  The best books are the ones that fits your needs, not the ones other people suggests you to get.

Answer 2

Before you feel the urge to dole out cash for books from a local bookstore, check out your public library. I borrowed all my gardening books from there and was very inspired.

Also, try and get books designed for your region/planting zone or state.

One of my favorite books is "Better Homes and Gardens--new garden book." It covers so many plants and has beautiful pictures.  And best of all, I found it in my local library.

Answer 3

For herbs, you might check out Taylor's 50 Best Herbs and Edible Flowers: Easy Plants for More Beautiful Gardens (Taylor's 50 Best)

For the ediblels, be sure to check out The Edible Flower Garden (Edible Garden Series)" by Rosalind Creasy.

If you have a local library nearby, try seeing if they have them. If not, both are available through Amazon.com
