I love growing things, especially medicinal plants and foods.
What sort of medicinal plants do you grow?
I like to grow ones that have historically been used as antimicrobials. 
Hmm...never heard of that.  What are the names of some of these plants?
There are many plants that destroy bacteria in foods.  Many spices do.
Can you recommend any reading where I can learn more on this subject?
There are many cookbooks, especially ones of countries that are hot and food spoilage is a problem.
Do these cookbooks tell what medicinal properties these foods have?
A book on herbs might be a place to find that.
Do most of these herbs taste good?
