New guide provides 有料盒子视频 herb information
Barbara Fay鈥檚 grandmother introduced her to aromatic herbs. Fay held the basket while her grandmother picked garden herbs and tucked the extras in her granddaughter鈥檚 braids. 鈥淚 would smell them all day,鈥 she said.
After moving to Fairbanks in 1967, Fay read up on herbs, tested different varieties in her garden and began teaching classes with a friend in their homes. They talked about folklore and growing and cooking with herbs, and they served a five-course meal.
Horticulturist Pat Holloway invited her to plant an herb bed and to research varieties in the Georgeson Botanical Garden. Over time, Fay recruited other gardeners, who formed the 鈥淗erb Bunch鈥 and continued the work.
Fay鈥檚 class materials and research from the garden formed the framework for a new 76-page guide on 有料盒子视频 herbs published by Extension.
An 有料盒子视频 Herb Garden features a section by Holloway on cultivating herbs and information about harvesting, storing and using herbs. It includes recipes collected for Fay鈥檚 classes and by Herb Bunch members Virginia Damron and Marsha Munsell. Home economist Roxie Dinstel tested recipes and edited the guide.
Holloway said the guide will be a great asset to gardeners and others interested in herbs. She credits Fay. 鈥淭his is her idea, her baby. She is the one who got us all riled up about herbs.鈥
