For every plant, the reader will also find simple recipes and tips for culinary uses. An extensive seed source list directs readers to reliable retailers for the primary plants and many delicious varieties.Adding to their appeal, many Chinese herbs and vegetables are very easy to grow in containers as well as in traditional beds.
