Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long

I've been familiar with Eliot Coleman's work for a few years now. I found an interesting article in Mother Earth News, 2004, regarding his daughter, Clara, and her attempts at gardening in the winter. It peaked my curiosity, so I saved the article. I have yet to get myself organized enough to attempt what she did, but I took it another step and purchased this particular book so that I would have more step-by-step help. Still, yet, I'm not quite brave enough to try, but if I can't do it with the help of this awesome book, I shouldn't waste my time!! The book is simple to understand, has perfectly understandable drawings to go by, and has about all the information one would need to be a success. I live in Central Maine and can't wait to be picking spinach and other greens in the cold of winter!! What more could you ask for, except for Mr. Coleman and/or his wife to come to your home and start the project with you??!! Thanks for a superb book...now if I can only get myself brave enough to try. Wish me luck.

This seems like a very helpful book. We all need to learn to grow year round.

An interesting and different look at gardening. I plan to test the information I picked up this winter. I didn't really care too much about the travel log, but it did help explain the thought process. Well worth a read.

This was a great book for people like us who would like to be self-sufficient even in a northern growing zone. I learned a lot and I'm sure I will refer to it often.

This book is really better for those places that have four seasons. Not all of the book is applicable to our warmer California winter climate.
