Herbal Rhythms: Deciphering Herbal Codes

Herbal Rhythms: Deciphering Herbal Codes, 198 pgs, published March 2006. By Jane Lytle and illustrated by Dawn Frost (me!). Our book is now available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, and Publish America. A blurb from the back cover: This book discusses fourteen herbs. These fourteen herbs are some of those most commonly purchased and used by the average gardener/cook in this country. I've attempted to provide a wel-rounded picture of each from its place in history, medicinal and culinary attributes, optimal growth conditions, harvesting, recipes, and projects for children and adults alike. Included in each chapter are various different hints and suggestions regarding cultivation, storage, and utilization that pertain not only to the herb being discussed, but to all herbs.
