How to Grow Winter Vegetables shows that it is possible to enjoy an
abundance of vegetables at the darkest time of year, whether stored
or ready for harvesting when needed. It also covers growing for the
'hungry gap' from April to early June. Not much grows in winter,
but a well-organised plot may nonetheless be quite full. You need
to plan carefully, and well ahead (as early as spring) for sowing
and planting at specific times through the year, so the main part
of the book is an extensive month-by-month sowing, planting and
growing calendar. Further sections cover harvesting, from garlic in
July right through to the last of the overwintered greens in May,
and storing your produce. Many salads can be grown in winter,
especially with a little protection from fleece, cloches or larger
structures. The book includes a whole section on frost-hardy salad
plants, explaining how to ensure harvests of fresh leaves
throughout winter. The beauty of winter and its produce is captured
in glorious photographs from the author's garden.
