| Dear fellow gardener, |
| How would you like to pick a fresh salad from your backyard garden in the dead of winter? |
| Imagine tripling your yield of delicious vegetables even from the smallest plot of earth in your yard. |
| Impress your neighbors by growing bigger, more colorful produce brimming with vitamins and other phytonutrients that feeds your family 365 days a year no matter where you live! |
| You can do it, and Niki Jabbour will show you exactly how in her book, The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener. |
| Niki, an author, blogger, and host of The Weekend Gardener radio show, lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia where the summers are short and the winters are brrrrr. “Come autumn, I don’t hang up my gloves and put the garden to bed,” she writes. “Instead, I switch gears and begin to harvest cool-weather vegetables like arugula, kale, leeks, carrots, spinach, parsnips, and claytonia.” |
| In winter, Niki picks vegetables for her kitchen even in the snow. And this winter, you’ll do the same by using her season-extending tips and hacks and simple devices like mini hoop tunnels and cold frames. You’ll find all the details in her 255-page comprehensive guide to turning your one-season garden into a four-season minifarm. |

| “Extending the growing season is one of the easiest ways to
increase productivity in the garden. We can’t invent a new
planet, but we can and must learn to use the resources of the current
one more creatively ...” – Roger Doiron |
|
| “Whether you’re a greenthumb or a greenhorn, you’ll learn many new things from Niki’s experience growing vegetables year-round on the ocean-cooled coast of Nova Scotia. But the most valuable thing this book conveys is a sense of hope and personal empowerment. The good life is closer than we may think; we just need to know where and when to start digging, as well as when not to stop.” |

| Roger Doiron is founder of Kitchen Gardeners International, a Maine-based nonprofit network of more than 20,000 individuals from 100 countries who are growing some of their own food and helping others to do the same |
