Our Review of “The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener”
The book delves into the art of succession planting, a strategic method that maximises your garden’s output. By planting multiple crops in succession within the same bed, you can enjoy a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
Jabbour doesn’t shy away from the realities of temperamental weather. To combat unpredictable elements, she provides instructions for building inexpensive protective structures like cold frames and hoop houses. These clever solutions extend your growing season and safeguard your crops from frost and harsh weather.
But it’s not all about planting and construction. The book also equips you with the knowledge to combat common garden foes: pests and diseases. You’ll gain valuable insights on how to keep your precious vegetables healthy and thriving.
Finally, Jabbour guides you through the process of harvesting, storing, and preserving your garden bounty. This ensures you can enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor long after the harvest has ended.
