Four-season Harvest

The simple crop-protection and storage schemes that Coleman has developed enable any home gardener in a place such as New England to enjoy fresh food year-round, à la the traditional cuisine of rural southern France. Coleman’s usual emphasis on nutrition and great taste, natural processes, and ingenious inexpensive low-tech solutions is delightfully enhanced in the new Four-Season Harvest by stories and culinary insight from his tour of France, descriptions of unfamiliar varieties suited to winter gardening in the U.S., and expanded discussions of how to grow and use his vegetable “Cast of Characters.”
