Sweet, Pot and Hedicinal 

 Herbs. 



No garden is complete without a few herbs for 

 culinary or medicinal purposes, and care should 

 be taken to harvest them properly. This should 

 be done on a dry day, just before they come into 

 full bloom, then dried quickly and packed 

 closely, entirely excluded from the air. Sow in 

 spring in shallow drills, one foot apart, and 

 when well up thin out or transplant to a proper 

 distance apart.
