Is there a basic book I can get on herbs here and how to work with them (cutting back or not, what needs it's roots trimmed -- am assuming mint will need this so as not to overrun other things).

Also, ANY advice on mixing heights, herbs with flowers, etc. would be most appreciated.

With thanks,

Fyfer
I'm intrigued Fyfer and welcome to the vine! Can you please elaborate with photo's if possible?
