Vegetables in All Seasons

by

 

Elliot Coleman’s gardening books were very influential on my gardening philosophy. I used to read them during my commute on the Long Island Rail Road each day from Huntington, Long Island, into Manhattan, and dream about the day when I would have a little farm of my own. 

Coleman states that most of the United States receives more winter sunshine than the south of France, and that with a few modifications, such as plastic-framed cold frames, many areas can grow vegetables throughout all four seasons. I had a small cold frame on Long Island and used it to keep tender herbs alive during the long winter months; there’s nothing like plucking a few pieces of rosemary in February for your potatoes, or a slice of basil for a pot of sauce when there’s snow on the ground. Using cold frames, window sill gardens and more, Coleman shows you how you can grow vegetables in all four season.

This link will take you to the Amazon page where you can purchase the book. I do have an Amazon affiliate account, so when you purchase the book using this link, I make a small fee (but it does NOT affect or increase your price in any way).  Enjoy and I hope you like the book as much as I do!
