About this product

Product Information

"Eliot is the reason I'm cooking. . . . I've followed that path because Eliot made it possible, and exciting, to farm in the four seasons."--Dan Barber, chef "There is hardly a more well-known or well-respected name among organic farmers than Eliot Coleman."--Civil Eats Learn season-extending techniques and eat the best food--garden fresh and chemical free--all year long, with little effort or expense. 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. Inside, you'll also learn: Composting techniques Simple Mineral Amendments Planning and preparing your garden site Seeds for four seasons How to build cold frames, high tunnels, and mobile greenhouses How to cope with snow How to create a root cellar and other storage techniques And much, much more! 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. "The man, the farmer, the legend, is Eliot Coleman."--The Atlantic To learn more about the possibility of a four-season farm, please visit Coleman's website www.fourseasonfarm.com.

Reviews
Publishers Weekly- From first sentence to last, Coleman's ( The New Organic Gardener ) book is a delight--an earnest guide written with an impish sense of humor. It will refresh anyone who wants to get the most from a vegetable garden yet doesn't want to devote too much time and energy to the process. Apparently Coleman thoroughly enjoys every phase of gardening--from planting crops to weeding. Who else has ever suggested, only half in jest, dancing with a hoe? Or keeping a pair of ducks for pest patrol? This is that kind of book. It's also a book full of valuable information on how to harvest fresh vegetables and salad ingredients literally year-round--yet without an expensive greenhouse or indoor light garden set-up. Coleman combines succession planting (small sowings three or more times, rather than one big endeavor) with cold-frame growing in the winter months. He includes how-tos for building simple cold-frames. Given the fact that he lives in Maine, his advice seems all the more reliable. He believes in simplicity ("If what I am doing in the garden seems complicated, it is probably wrong"), seasonality (tomatoes in summer, broccoli in fall, mache in February) and diplomacy in the garden (which "has more to teach us than just how to grow food"). Here, his philosophy of organic growing is shared easily. The book concludes with an extensive chapter on the vegetables that comprise his "cast of characters." Illustrated. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title., "Four-Season Harvest is a magnificent work. It's enticing, inspiring, sensible, and it opens a whole new world for the home grower."--Peter Fossel, Country Journal

    Topics that help in the north country

    I wanted some information about extending my garden growing knowledge, especially living here in the northern part of the country. This book does all that with different techniques and lists of vegetables that work. I would recommend this book to anyone who lives in the mid-west or northern countries.

    Informative and easy to read

    I have so very much enjoyed this book!!! I have purchased another to give as a gift. It is so easy to read. It starts from the "ground up" pardon the pun and walks you through every aspect of creating a successful organic garden. The most exciting part is that it can produce for you year round. I found the chapters on soil composition and composting the most educational. But it was written in a manner that was easy to understand and made perfect sense. I finally got it!! If you're interested in organic gardening and are looking for ways to keep your green thumbs entertained year round, this is the book for you!

    No more preserving!

    I really like this book! It has given my family an alternative to buying grocery store produce through the winter without having to do the terribly hot work of preserving our summer food. Eating with the seasons using the methods in this book will save us a good deal of money, hassle, and work while providing us the benefits of increased health that comes with a higher vitamin intake.
