Grow a Year-Round Garden

If you are like most gardeners, you plant in the Spring and harvest in the Summer. The garden stores do not have many plants or seeds after the heat of summer descends. If you have ever tried to plant a second season of potatoes, for example, you may run out of time. And planting Fall and Winter cabbage and greens may not germinate in the heat of the summer. What can you do?

In Northern climates you may only get one growing season in the ground, without spending big money on a greenhouse. Niki Jabbour’s “The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener” is your key to extend your season.

Extend your Growing Season

Even in winter’s coldest months you can harvest fresh, delicious produce. Drawing on insights gained from years of growing vegetables in Nova Scotia, Niki Jabbour shares her simple techniques for gardening throughout the year. Learn how to select the best varieties for each season, the art of succession planting, and how to build inexpensive structures to protect your crops from the elements. No matter where you live, you’ll soon enjoy a thriving vegetable garden year-round.
