Herbs in the Midwest

Growing and Using Herbs in the Midwest (1996)

A regional guide for home gardeners by Rosemary Divock

Includes many of my favorites:

Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum)
Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium)
Lavender (Lavandula)
Lemon Verbena (Aloysia tripphylla)
Lovage (Levisticum officinale)
Mints (Mentha)
Rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis)
Sage (Salvia officinalis)
Scented geraniums (Perlargoniums)
Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
Sweet Marjoram (Majorana hortensis)
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)

Curiously omits some of my favorites such as bible leaf, lemon balm, and comfrey.

Provides a month by month to-do list for herb gardeners.

Lists culinary uses and includes recipes.

I probably should buy this book (I read the library copy).
