Format:Paperback
This book is the only one of it's kind I have found. Not only does it have step-by-step instructions and tables on when and how to plant and harvest, it also has plans for building your own cold frames and a portable greenhouse (hoop house). Many books on the same subject focus on artificially heating a greenhouse to grow warm-weather vegetables. This one does not! The focus is instead on how to use what is naturally cold tolerant, and how to keep your plants harvestable throughout the winter.

This book is full of wonderful tips and instructions on raising fruits and vegatables organically and how to best improve the soil. I use this book so much as a reference in the garden that it is covered with soil and the pages are wrinkled from rain so I am ordering a new copy.

Within the first few paragraphs of chapter one, the author describes how his techniques could not work in the UK. We are on the same latitude as the frozen wastes of Canada and cannot grow more than we already do without the expense of artificial lighting. We can already grow the crops he mentions in the first chapter in the depths of winter - salads, spring onions, carrots, kale, leeks etc. This is nothing new but anything else he mentions is not possible without the light enjoyed by most of the US, which as he mentions, is on the same latitude as the Mediterranean.
