Widen your winter horizons and enjoy an abundance of vegetables at the darkest time of year in this lovely book.

Many people believe that not much grows in winter, but a well-organised plot can still be productive with careful planning. In fact, many salads can be grown in winter, especially with a little protection from fleece, cloches or larger structures. Written by organic gardening expert Charles Dowding, this guide explains how you can come through winter with plenty of vegetables stored and ready to harvest.

Beautifully designed with full-colour photographs from Martin’s garden, How to Grow Winter Vegetables includes an extensive month-by-month sowing, planting and growing calendar, as well as plenty of tips on storing produce. Martin shares harvesting guidance, from garlic in July right through to spring cabbage and pea shoots in May. The guide also includes a whole section on frost-hardy salad plants and other vegetables.

How to Grow Winter Vegetables is a useful resource for anyone looking to utilise their garden and grow fresh produce throughout the year.

Charles Dowding has been growing organic vegetables for many years. An early pioneer of vegetable boxes, he runs courses in organic gardening from his farm in Somerset, England. Using no-dig methods on an acre of raised beds, he grows an extensive range of vegetables and year-round salads for local shops and restaurants. His website is www.charlesdowding.co.uk.
