I have been growing plants and herbs (and using them also) since before I can remember, but, still living in the Northwest there are a few problems when herbs and such are involved, and trying to grow them successfully. I also have a ton of books on growing cultivating etc. But in my opinion, and this is just personal mind you from being up in the foothills of the Cascade Moutains and experiencing the climatic buggaboos that you will get here, this book is the best I have found.
If you live in the Northwest specificly on the western side of the Cascades you HAVE to get this book.
