If you’re interesting in winter gardening at all, I’d highly recommend buying this book. I knew if I didn’t buy it I’d be constantly requesting it from the library trying to remember when to plant leeks or lettuce for a mid-winter harvest. I’ll be referencing it often in my efforts to make the most of my garden throughout the long winters here in my zone 5 NE Ohio garden. Since the information in this book is seasonal and time specific, I knew it would be a worthy addition to my reference library. While reading this book I found myself jotting down so many notes, I decided I’d better buy the book (so I did). My notebook is organized into sections, one for each book, a section for plant ideas and a section for each month so I can jot down when I need to do specific things related to a time line. ![]() When I read I keep a small notebook at hand to jot down info, quotes and other interested things. I’ve read his other books Four-Season Harvest and The New Organic Grower which are both great. I mentioned yesterday that I loved to read and that I was currently reading Eliot Coleman’s newest book The Winter Harvest Handbook. ![]() |
