Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long

Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long
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.
Customer Review: Inspirational!
I love this book. It inspires with it’s adroit mix of low-tech in an informed, high-tech world. Nope, not a return to the past, but the good past informs and points the way to an unexpectedly lush future. Gardening by latitude? Year-round harvests in MAINE?
Particularly interesting to me is the fresh look of self-sufficient gardening when you harvest just what you need to eat, when you need it, instead of giant harvests for canning and freezing. It makes the entire process fit more comfortably into an ordinary life… exactly what I was looking for. No heroics, lots of common sense.
I’ll be using this book a lot!
Customer Review: Eating fresh all year long
If they can do it it Maine, it shouod be possible just about anywhere.

Customer Review: Gift wrapping caddy.
I got the idea from a magazine to use this for gift wrapping accessories and it’s perfect. I keep scissors, electric scissors, tape, pens, hole punch for cards, cards, ribbon, and embellishments all in the pockets. Paper and gift bags fit in the bucket. Just pick up the whole bucket and take it to your wrapping area. Talk about convenient!
Customer Review: Great organizer
Very durable, holds everything nicely, use most of the pockets, bought a 5 gallen bucket at home depot and it fits perfectly around it.

Customer Review: Vista = Punch Software.. Stay Away
I have experienced Non Compatiblity w/Vista & Poor Support from Punch with respect to email response and problem solving for their product.
Customer Review: Parts are too complex, others are too limited
After using this product for basic stuff [floor plans], I found that the 3D functionality to be far too complex and not really accurate. To create roof, ceiling and floors to create a realistic version of your floor plan, the process seemed too cumbersome and the elevations never quite seemed to be right. The pictures they show you are obviously done by the “professionals” on this software and mine never turn out quite realistic. I also have found that the gallery of objext to be very limited and a little confusing. Why there are twenty different towel bars and candles I do not know. Plus, there aren’t many 2D images to place in floor plans. If you are a hobbyist, this program might suit your needs, but if you are using this for a function, don’t bother.
