Shiver Me Parsnips: A Guide to Successful Sustainable Vegetable Gardening in Zone 3

For many, the idea of sustainably growing vegetables in the Upper Midwest, especially in Zone 3, is intimidating. Some gardeners have had limited success, while others have failed miserably. And it always seems that what the seed packets say doesn't apply to Zone 3 gardens. This book holds a solution for successfully and sustainably growing vegetables in the challenging Zone 3 climate. There are beautiful and bountiful home and market gardens even in this part of the U.S., and indeed in many other parts of the world with a similar climate. Most of that is due to adequate planning and realistic expectations. Shiver Me Parsnips is a step by step guide for planning and growing a successful (and sustainable) vegetable garden in the short growing season available. It will help the novice gardener to focus on growing vegetables that will flourish and that they actually want to eat. It will reveal how long vegetables really take to grow in this climate, allowing for realistic expectations. It will explain simple and inexpensive means of season extension. And, by following the instructions in each chapter, it offers an easy to understand planning process to help ensure a thriving and rewarding garden experience.
