12 Herbs for the Colonial Garden

November 30, 2010 by Jeanne

I’ve been a writer for close to 20 years now, and still nothing compares with the thrill of seeing my name as the byline of an article, especially in a print magazine. My latest article for The Herb Companion magazine is also up on their website, so I thought you might enjoy reading it.

Thank you to all those who contributed quotes to the article!
