Without fresh, all-natural winter gardening in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries people would have starved to death. The good news is that feeding your family fresh food from your own backyard garden all winter long is far easier and less time-consuming than you might imagine. And you won't find better-tasting food at any price!

Review

I love this book, very thorough and easy to understand directions on how to start a winter garden, especially in a high-desert environment like Utah. I've found Caleb 's advice to be invaluable. I have my first ever winter garden started this year, so we'll see how good I am at putting his instructions to use. :) --Amazon

I love every page. This is a great guide to overcoming the difficulties of winter gardening. I'm really glad that I got it and now I can't put it down. It's a good thing that it showed up right away after I ordered it. I'm quite satisfied with this purchase and seller. --Amazon

I love this book, it has plenty of practical advice and know how. I do feel that I could grow a successful winter garden after having read the book. --Amazon

Looking for easy, inexpensive ways to grow or harvest food in winter? This book is for you! The author focuses primarily on the oldest, most trusted methods: cold frames and hot beds. He offers easy to follow advice on making both. You'll also find specific advice on the best seeds for winter gardens, information on overwintering veggies in the ground or in a cool garage or cellar, and fascinating information about the author's geothermal greenhouse. Oddly missing are any thoughts on tunnels, and some favorite winter gardening veggies aren't mentioned. On the other hand, I've never seen such detailed information on geothermal greenhouses, or on growing melons in hot beds, or on growing mangels. Overall, this is THE book I recommend for those who've never winter gardened before.

This book gave helpful insight and instruction on how to have vegetables in one way or another throughout the winter. Hot and cold frames and a greenhouse that will work all year with no electricity or heat other than the sun and earth to power… Not solar power units. Organic advice on pest control as well and food storage over winter. All I know is that this was a great read with beautiful pictures. I also loved the insight he Gave on seed propagation, heirloom varieties and history!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful information
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018

Backyard Winter Gardening is a relatively quick read that includes many useful tips to prolong garden growth into the dead of winter. Some of this involves cold frames and hot frames, but there are also tips how to keep root crops in the ground until they are needed. There is also some useful information on partially underground greenhouses. The pictures are high quality, and there are regular historical excerpts on how people gardened over a hundred years ago.

I did have two issues with the book. The first one is that the author gave dates for planting that didn't seem to make sense, like planting seeds in early August rather than late July because he said it's cooler then. The author lives at a high elevation and in a dry environment, so his winters are longer, colder and windier than most other places. This makes some of the planting dates less useful than they could be. The second issue is the author's heavy use of hot frames, which warms beds with large quantities of decomposing manure. This would require as much as a cubic yard of manure for a single bed of cantaloupes. This is no problem for the author since he has two cows, a horse, chickens and rabbits. For people without livestock this isn't a viable option. While you could use grass clippings and vegetable scraps instead of manure, even then it's going to require too many cubic feet (or yards) to make it practical.

Despite these issues, I found the book useful and interesting, and I intend to try a few of the ideas.

Going into my 2nd winter garden season, and my 10th 3 season garden, I still consider myself a student, even though I'm the go-to in my friend group for self sufficiency and gardening. I bought this to see if it's something I can recommend to get people into winter growing instead of me having to spell everything out for the forever skeptics.
I can hands down say this is my new favorite recommendation. If I could afford to, I'd keep multiple copies on hand to give out to my friends who I know are serious about growing and putting in the work. Word for word everything I tell people is in this book, and more. Thank you for such a resource!

This book is the perfect guide to how to make a winter garden to have fresh veggies year round. Not only does he tell you how to plant, what to plant, and what varieties are the most winter hardy, he also give you several different options for sustaining the plants through the winter and how to store them. I am not a veteran gardener, but this book was easy read and understand. I will definitely be planting a winter garden this year.
