I wish this would say something about what climates the different herbs need. I live in Alaska and am not sure what types of herbs I can grow.

Hi Reader's Digest! Here's an idea for a future publication (that could be an amalgamation of past articles) that includes ways to cope with stress, desserts that help you cope with stress, activities that help you cope with stress and coping strategies that help you deal with stress.
