Autor Charles Dowding
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2011
Widen your winter horizons and enjoy an abundance of vegetables at the darkest time of year in this lovely book.Many people believe that not much grows in winter, but a well-organised plot can still be productive with careful planning. In fact, many salads can be grown in winter, especially with a little protection from fleece, cloches or larger structures. Written by organic gardening expert Charles Dowding, this guide explains how you can come through winter with plenty of vegetables stored and ready to harvest. Beautifully designed with full-colour photographs from Martin's garden, How to Grow Winter Vegetables includes an extensive month-by-month sowing, planting and growing calendar, as well as plenty of tips on storing produce. Martin shares harvesting guidance, from garlic in July right through to spring cabbage and pea shoots in May. The guide also includes a whole section on frost-hardy salad plants and other vegetables. How to Grow Winter Vegetables is a useful resource for anyone looking to utilise their garden and grow fresh produce throughout the year.

Recenzii

This fabulous book is ideal for those seeking to extend their basic knowledge and experience.
With Charles's advice at hand you can be sure that there will be plenty to eat... Charles' book is a paean to our weather, climate and soil. It celebrates all that is good about growing year round and I guarantee that you'll actually look forward to winter after this read.
Charles Dowding is an incomparable guide to the exhilarating, frustrating and downright addictive nature of growing salads and vegetables in the garden or allotment. [...] This gloriously practical and inspiring book is full of good photographs, and is handsomely produced in full colour by Green Books.
This book opens up a needlessly neglected and wonderful part of gardening - winter with your own vegetables is a much better place to be. Charles's book is a comprehensive, practical and inspiring guide.
Whether you have years of gardening experience or are just at the novice stage there is so much to learn from this excellent book. It is a very well illustrated book with some wonderful colour photographs and will make an excellent reference book in your gardening library.
An invaluable book, intelligent of course, and inspiring too.
