This book is what I was looking for! I haven't finished it, but it is well written, loaded with helpful information and exactly what I need!
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2013
I am a book nut, and I have bookcases of books--together with so many titles on my Kindle, it's hard to find what I'm looking for. Of my bookcases of books, gardening books are among my favorites and I have some very well written/illustrated garden books. But The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener is always near the top of my pile of "active" books. For the beginner/intermediate gardener, or those for whom 4-season gardening is new, this is such a well conceived, well written, and beautifully illustrated garden book and if I could have only one garden book, this one would do nicely for me as a 4-season home gardener.

Among the features I most appreciate is the sequential, seasonal layout of the book, in which the author discusses the many seasonally specific aspects of gardening, and how to deal with them in a way that will maximize the year-round viability and productivity of a garden. Notable are such nice touches as "A year in the life of my grow-lights" in which the author shares the details of how she maximizes the limited under-light area she has available so as to ensure that she always has adequate seedlings available for planting at the appropriate times. Too, I like her lists of favorite varieties of vegetables/fruits that are appropriate for the different seasons at her location (and which can be adjusted for the reader's location. Her discussion of the many options of season extenders--row covers, clouchs, tunnels/hoop houses, cold frames, etc. Also appreciated is her treatments of composting and other soil-enrichment routines required to maintain maximum soil fertility in garden spaces that are intensively planted and in all seasons.

I could go on and on gushing about this book, but do yourself a favor: order your own copy. When it arrives, get comfortable, curl up with it, and just enjoy a very well conceived, written, and illustrated book. Even though I've been gardening for several years with a focus on organic, all-season gardening, I've learned a lot from this book. Plus it's such a beautiful book, it's just fun to sit and spend time engaged with it. The photography alone makes the book very inspirational and well worth it's modest price.

Five stars, all the way.

This book has been incredibly helpful. It offers really detailed information, not just peripheral philosophy or ideology. It gives actual materials used for mini hoop tunnel construction, breaks down the differences between various row covers, and goes through common vegetables one by one to let the grower know specifics about each (including when to plant based on frost dates, how to manage and thin as the plant grows, and how to harvest). It also has great layout that is colorful with a good balance of word and photography. It is also really upbeat and doesn't make the reader feel discouraged for not knowing certain aspects of gardening. This has really been a gem of a book for me. I am new to the gardening scene, and although I've purchased 10s of books to get to know everything I can, I keep coming back to this book over and over again as I implement my garden plans. I should note that at first read, this book really encouraged, empowered, and provided me with the tools I needed to start a garden. But, I've found that the more I've actually done in the garden and the more questions I've developed, the more value the book has had as I've come back to it as a reference. I'd like to thank Niki for this treasure.

This gives me hope that I can keep gardening all winter in Pennsylvania. If she can do it in Nova Scotia, I can do it here. She gives a wealth of information on the right plants and how to protect them. Just a side note ... some of the plants aren't as easy to get as I hoped, but the Canadian greenhouses she recommends are willing to work with me to get them here.

I’ve bought two copies for gifts and both were well received. I looked through the book-beautiful illustrations, easy to understand and well laid out even for a novice like me. Great buy for the information. The first part is general gardening tips in all weather, crop rotation, planting guidelines. The last part of the book covers specific crops (encyclopedia style) that give more specific details for each plant. Although I’m definitely a beginning gardener, I believe the experienced gardener would also find it very helpful.

I am a relatively experienced home urban gardener, been at it for 20+years. There's always more to learn. This book has inspired me to make additional raised beds, to think about companion planting and extending the garden season into the winter via the use of covers and deep mulch. It's an enjoyable book to read and the pictures are nice. I recommend this book to anyone who gardens.

I am looking at my shelf of 20 gardening books purchased in the last 12 months and this is my favourite. I live in Southern England, so rather distinct from the location of the writer, however, I found the advice, tips and plans to be a good guide and an even better inspiration. Well written and illustrated; this will be a good reference for years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars As billed, a useful veggie gardening guide for Canadians
Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2014
This is a very useful book. It is nicely designed with lots of colour and useful graphics and tables inside. For this reason I do not recommend buying it as a Kindle; books with lots of graphics simply don't work well on a reader in my experience. This aside, as a Canadian vegetable gardener, I refer to this book all the time, both for general how-to tips oriented to cooler weather gardening, and as a calender to see what I can successfully plant when.
