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.

 Four-season Harvest March 18, 2010

I purchased this book because I was interested in learning how to extend the growing season for vegetables. I was not disappointed in my purchase. This book is chock full of tips and ideas. I learned a lot of the "hows" and "whys" of plant growing. This book is well written and easy to understand.

Good resource for the beginning gardener. Not advanced enough for my needs, but still enjoyed the book. Great for the just starting grower.

The "Four Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long" book is a great book for people living in the North East who want to garden even in the winter months. Eliot Coleman does a fabulous and inspirational job of showing step-by-step how to. Everything from building cold frames, to compost, to types of lettuces. Very, very good book for all cold-weather living people, who love their own garden food. Eliot Coleman is a genius.

This book is just what I was looking for. It has excellent information on extending the growing season with simple directions. It is laid out well and the sharing of personal tidbits on how they started growing all season is interesting and insightful.
 It's okay, but it is too general July 25, 2009

This book is a general overview on how this guy runs his high-production, high-cost garden. No details are given on how the average Joe can build or buy the stuff. The wife and I were pretty disappointed. I learned nothing from this book and fell back on the intial plan: build a big quality greenhouse.
