Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden
all Year Long!
At the End of the Summer, Keep on Harvesting!
If you love the joys of eating home-garden vegetables but always thought
those joys had to stop at the end of summer, this book is for you. Eliot
Coleman introduces the surprising fact that most of the United States
has more winter sunshine than the south of France. He shows how North
American gardeners can successfully use that sun to raise a wide variety
of traditional winter vegetables in backyard cold frames and plastic covered
tunnel greenhouses without supplementary heat. Coleman expands upon his
own experiences with new ideas learned on a winter-vegetable pilgrimage
across the ocean to the acknowledged kingdom of vegetable cuisine, the
southern part of France, which lies on the 44th parallel, the same latitude
as his farm in Maine.
This story of sunshine, weather-patterns, old limitations and expectations,
and new realities is delightfully innovative in the best gardening tradition. Four-Season Harvest will have you feasting on fresh produce from
your garden all through the winter.
