I own this book and the New Organic book, looked at the Four Season Harvest book last while visiting Barnes and Noble. It seemed more applicable.

Maybe an Elliot Coleman Boxset? Not that he titled his books the Complete … I’m going to stick to Steve Solomon, John Jeavons, and Louise Riotte for now. Elliot Coleman did not peg my meter

It’s a great update to his book for anyone that wants to grow vegetables in the winter.

This is, as many have already noted, written for those with larger tracts of land than the average backyard gardener, but the concepts will easily translate to a small garden. I am still reading this, but all in all, I have learned some good things, know I will learn more, and hope to put up our own two layers soon.

As we start growing plants in our new green house we really need the input on how to grow things that will last for at least part of the winter. This book is great as a reference and we plan to make good use of the information in it.
