Product Description
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.

Everything you need to know to grown your own. Harvest into the winter.
It's becoming a necessity not a luxury to have family gardens; this gets you well on your way.

Eliot Coleman is a superb author and teacher. This little book would inspire anybody to grow their own, stash and enjoy the larder of their labor and give humor along with it all! I also bought his other book on Organic Gardening and it's also very informative.....they go hand in hand and I feel like I've taken a biological study in the basics - right down to the tools! A great read...

i love this book! the author's philosophy is that simple is best, and the best approach is to work with (not against) mother nature. the fact that he can coax a four-season harvest out of his garden in maine is inspiring. i'm a novice gardener, and have read too many books where elaborate systems that cost a lot of money just turn me off. not so with this book. i found his recommendations of cold-hardy vegetables very helpful, because i'm also in the northeast, but they may not apply to all readers.
