Good information on extending the growing season in the NW,

This review is from: Gardening Under Cover: A Northwest Guide to Solar Greenhouses, Cold Frames, and Cloches (Paperback)
The book was helpful, with ideas for extending the growing season in the Pacific Northwest with several simple designs for cloches and coldframes. However, it is noteable that almost half of the book is devoted to greenhouse gardening in and designs for a "solar" greenhouse. Other northwest gardening experts I have read (ex., Steve Solomons, "Gardening West of the Cascades") state that "solar" greenhouses do not work in our perpetually cloudy winter climate, greenhouses must be all glass.

Great Ideas,

This review is from: Gardening Under Cover: A Northwest Guide to Solar Greenhouses, Cold Frames, and Cloches (Paperback)
I think this is a really good book. It has a lot of helpful information and wonderful ideas for gardening under cover. And I have to agree with the other reviewer regarding the greenhouse section. I think that part should be removed and they add more on the cold frames and cloches.
We live on the Olympic Peninsula and have issue with deer and elk. Gardening this way is a great way to not only get your growing season to last longer but a perfect way to keep the deer and elk out!

This review is from: Gardening Under Cover: A Northwest Guide to Solar Greenhouses, Cold Frames, and Cloches (Paperback)
I bought this book because it was recommended by Steve Solomon (*Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades*). It has detailed plans for cloches, greenhouses, and cold frames. It's really nice to have instruction from someone who has BTDT, instead of just guessing what will work.
The plans are definitely applicable for other climates as well--not just the Pacific Northwest.
