Herb of the Year for 2003

I'm doing a little promotion here.  Our new Herbalpedia CD for 2003 is now available and has close to 1000 profiles of herbs/spices.  They normally range from 2-10 pages depending on how much information I've been able to scrounge up.  We include everything...history, cultivation, all uses (medicinal, culinary, aromatherapy, cosmetic, industrial), recipes for all the above, as many alternative names as I can find, toxicity, just about anything on a particular plant.  Originally, I got tired of looking through 20 books to find information on one plant and started creating my own database.  Then it became an obsession as such things do and Herbalpedia(TM) was born.  Some examples of profiles from previous Herbs of the Year can be found at http://www.herbnet.com/herbalpedia_final.htm along with ordering i nformation.  Price for initial CD is $48 in North America ($58 for overseas folks) and if you renew each year (we update old profiles and add a few hundred more), it's only $24/$29.  There are photos of most of the plants and I'm always looking for more pictures.  Since education is one of our main purposes, I don't mind if people use any of the material as long as we're given credit.   Also, Basil is the Herb of the Year for 2003 and I've got information in the same area.  It's so great after this year's Echinacea because basil is used for everything from great pesto to medicinal products to cosmetics.  We've got recipes too...including Basil Ale.  Please spread the word to your readers that if they want loads of basil info it's at our site for the taking.
