Review
Binda's book introduced me and a whole lot of other people to the amazing reality of year-round gardening here in the maritime Northwest. After growing food in many other parts of the country, learning to cook from the garden in winter was a delicious miracle. Her techniques were simple and easy to apply, even if you didn't have help or much money....If you have a yen to grow cool season crops of your own, this book will be a splendid guide -- Ann Lovejoy in the Bainbridge Review, Oct. 17, 1998

Exellent book for any cold climate gardener5
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.

Ok, but there are better choice for the Northwest Gardener2
The book had some good information, but was limited to only cool weather vegetables. Two other books Steve Solomons, Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades and William Heads, Gardening Under Cover are much much better choices. They cover all vegetables, yet still include plenty of info for winter gardening and extending the season.

Best winter gardening book5
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.
