Free copies of "What Can I Do With My Herbs?"

What Can I Do With My Herbs?

I have two more copies of What Can I Do With My Herbs? for a pair of randomly selected readers.

I wrote about this delightfully helpful book by Judy Barrett a couple of weeks ago, gave away a copy, and the publishers, Texas A&M University Press, were kind enough to send a couple more to give away.

I planted an herb garden of my own for the first time this year. In the past, I bartered my vegetables with neighbors for their herbs. My 12 year old daughter and I had a blast smelling our way through the garden centers and nurseries, choosing the dozen herbs now in our garden. I would love to receive a free copy of "What Can I Do With My Herbs?"

I'm crossing my fingers for this title. With the abundance of wet weather in my area, I'm having hit or miss results with my herbs this year. The dill and the chives gave up. The oregano, however, is quite happy.

To my usual basil, thyme, parsley and rosemary, this year I added Vietnamese coriander (I've long since given up on cilantro, which I actually managed to kill in less than 24 hours one time), tarragon, oregano, and sage. I could use some tips!

Planted herbs for the first time last year and had success. Didn't know some of the plants would winter over. I have a 1.5 foot Sage bush with wonderful purlpe flowers and another hugh oregano bush. Dill replanted it self and mint didn't do so well. Would love to know what to do with these and other herbs and this book sounds like it would do the trick. Love your column. Keep growing with your life!

I would like to know what I can do with my herbs, if only I could get my husband to stop spraying deer repellant on them. It gives a whole new meaning to the term bitter herbs.

Now THAT'S funny!

The teeny tiny little herb plants that GrandBoy and I planted in the great big pot have already become about as much - or, maybe more - than that pot should hold.

Hi Susan, I recently joined your blog and I just love it! I am very new to the world of planting but im pretty excited about being able to cook with MY OWN vegetables and herbs. Thank you for providing news and so much helpful information. I would love to win the book!

We have winners. Thanks for commenting everybody!

That sounds like a wonderful book!!
I love finding new interesting tidbits to read dealing with nature, gardens, plants...I would enjoy your book immensely.
Do you still have any copies?
Good Luck and have a lovely Spring, Summer!!!

I don't know if I am too late for this but I just looked at a copy of this book last week and I would love to have a copy of my own. I think that it will help me so much to figure out what to do the herbs that I already have planted and figure out what else I want to plant. Thanks.

Sorry, Debbie. You are late. Better luck next time! -- Susan

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
