I would like this group to focus on kitchen herb gardens, be they culinary or medicinal. What do you grow, what do you use it for, do you make any medicinal products from your herbs?

Have a favorite book about gardening that you would love to share with other members? Can be non-fiction or fiction, even a childrens book would be fine. If you can, add an image from the book!

I DO THINK THAT THERE IS SOME OVERLAP HERE. I STARTED THE "BERRY GROWERS" GROUP SEVERAL DAYS AGO. IT MAY BE WISE TO HAVE ONE GROUP AND OF COURSE, MANY DISCUSSIONS WITHIN IT. THE RESPONSE TO "BERRY GROWERS" HAS BEEN GOOD AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE JOINED : )

I know what you mean I have a yorkie and he is the sweetest thing you could ever want - unconditional love if only human can learn from them the world would be a awesome place. I would love another yorkie but that will only cause pure hell in my house.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
