I refer to this little book again and again. The sections on propagation of herbs are invaluable, well-illustrated and easy to understand. If you love herbs and garden in Texas, you need this book. I would love to see the author’s list of herbs expanded in a future edition. The only real down-side to the book is the author’s recommendations for watering. I’ve found that in San Antonio, my herbs take a lot more supplemental watering than he recommends. Remember, Sol Meltzer lives in Houston, an area which gets more rain than the other two-thirds of the state. Also, I’d rather see more information on the plants than have recipes in the back. Still, it’s deservedly a classic Texas gardening book.
