This review is from: Make Your Summer Garden Last All Year (Paperback)
This book of practical gardening advice is a superb value. It tells how to extend the growing season, various simple methods to store your produce, and details on storing specific fruits and vegetables. If you want to save money growing your own food, if you want to have tasty home-grown produce all year long, if you want to know how to store purchased produce without processing it, this book is for you. You really can make your summer garden last all year!There is a section on alternative methods to store produce. Not everything has to be canned, frozen, dehydrated, etc. And not all produce storage has to be indoors. Read how to store food in your attic or basement, how to build a root cellar, how to store produce in the ground or under straw mounds, and so on. There are many pages of information about storing your produce, giving details such as ideal storage temperature, moisture level, and any materials that extend the life of your stored produce items. Also covered are which are most suited to which storage methods. Another section details methods and plants for winter gardening. Learn how to build cold frames, sheltered nursery beds, and even a simple greenhouse. Learn about plants you can grow in the cellar in winter, others you could grow in a cool closet, or elsewhere in your home. Learn about crops that prefer cooler weather, to plant in spring and fall, and those that will grow outdoors well into winter with just the shelter of a home-made green house.
