Four-Season
Harvest
Organic Vegetables From Your Garden All Year Long
by
Eliot Coleman
If
you love the joys of eating home-garden vegetables but alwaysthought
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.
