Best winter gardening book

This is my all time favorite gardening book. The author knows the Northwest and gardening in the Northwest wet climate. Her advise on locating a winter garden and vegetable choices are great. I have used this book since the seventies and found it a valuable resource.

Best book on subject

This is absolutely the best book on winter gardening you are going to find, and while the cover focuses on the Maritime North West, the information could be used anywhere. The one draw back I see, is that much of the advise is not even needed in the Pacific Northwest, where you can often grow vegetables year round without any special location or structures to help your efforts. So, for some folks this book might make the task seem a little harder than it needs to be. But for folks that get some heavy frost, snow, or freezing, this book will definitely lengthen your growing season.

Exellent book for any cold climate gardener

This book is an excellent resource for cold weather gardening especially those in the northwest. If you thought it might not be possible to grow much in the pacifc northwest winter this book will be an eye opener.
