I cannot get enough of this book!  I ordered it from the library and now I have to buy it to add to my collection! 

"Grow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces"
By: Gayla Trail

(Author of "You Grow Girl"....which I also have!)

I'll post some snippets from the book to get you hooked!  The book discusses everything from making your own containers, perfect soils, starting and planting, harvesting tips and even unique recipes!  I love the gritty, diy vibe I get from the book.  Here is a great idea from the book that will add that special detail to your holiday cooking...

Herb-Infused Salt or Sugar
"Grow Great Grub" page 161

Recipe:
1 Cup (fine or coursely ground) sea salt or evaporated cane juice sugar
1 Cup fresh herb leaves only, finely chopped

Directions:
1. Work some of the herb oils into the salt or sugar by lightly pounding them together in a mortar and pestle.

2. Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet or baking dish and heat slowly in the oven on the lowest possible temperature until the herbs are dried.  This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the herb and your oven's lowest temperature.

3. Set aside to cool and pour the ingredients into a glass jar to store.

Herbs for salt: Basil, cives, lavender, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, tarragon and thyme.

Herbs for sugar: Anise hyssop, lavender, mint, 'cinnamon' basil, lemon basil, anise basil, scented geranium, fruit sage and bronze fennel.
