Average Customer Ratings:
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 REVIEWS:
A little disappointed - 
The book is very helpful when it comes to thinking about winter gardening but I think the average person will not have access to a huge portable greenhouse to accomplish this.

Genuinely useful techniques for extending the garden season -
Here in Minnesota I was unsure if such simple greenhouses, unheated flexible plastic, would work year-round. I have probably been too conservative and have just been extending the crops, planting much earlier in the Spring, and keeping summer plants (and a small Fall planting) going into the Autumn. Simple ideas and well-thought through. Everything in the book has been tested year after year with excellent results. Truly inspiring!
Must have in your gardening book library! -
In case you didn't know, Elliot is THE master gardener! I have highlighted this book to death! You will learn so much more from this book than any text book about gardening.
Exciting book! But if you live in the Pacific Northwest... -
"Four Season Harvest" was so exciting for me to read. Not only for the content, but the author is also enjoyable to read. So I read the whole thing through with visions in my head of building a greehouse and harnessing the sun's light to harvest fabulous food year-round.
When I was near done, I picked up "Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades" by Steve Solomon. I live south of Seattle and thought I should see what specific local information I needed to turn my little garden into something more substantial. On page 123 of Solomon's book- 6th edition (and indeed earlier in the book), he talks about how solar greenhouses, which work well during Winter on the East coast, are much less affective West of the Cascades. In Maine, where Coleman ("Four Season Harvest") lives, although it gets very cold in the Winter, the sun still shines frequently. But West of the Cascades, we get much less sun in the Winter, when a bulk of the days are overcast. No matter how great your greenhouse, if you still don't have much sun filtering through, produce still cannot continue to grow/survive. (By the way, Solomon is also a proponent of a year long harvest, he just has other recommendations for producing this in our area).
In summary, I really enjoyed "Four Season Harvest" and recommend it to anyone living where, even if cold and snowy, there is lots of sun in Winter. For those of us living along the North Pacific Coast, I'd recommend instead Solomon's "Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades."

Winter gardeners take note. -
Excellent info from someone with experience doing winter gardening in Maine. Info on different methods. I used it in planning on building cold frames and the information was extensive and very useful. An excellent primer on winter gardening from someone who has done it.
