How to Grow Winter Vegetables Review: A Hidden Gem - While I have quite a collection of books about winter vegetable gardening, I turn to this book a lot for advice on timing. This is the best organized manual I have seen on how to grow crops for eating in the winter. The author gives specific, practical advice for what to do each month for each vegetable: preparing, planting (including spacing for best results, giving you a range), care, and special concerns. He also has helpful charts for at-a-glance help. He's been a market gardener for many years and it shows. I'm surprised this book isn't more popular. My guess is that it is because the author lives in the UK and the book hasn't been promoted in the US. I've found the author's timing and culture recommendations work very well for my mid-Atlantic garden as long as I keep in mind that his winters are a bit milder than mine, and his climate is usually more rainy and cooler in the summer. If you live in the South, you will need to grow short-day onions (he grows long-day onions), and the timing will be different. Review: Great Book! Not quite right for my growing area, but a good reference. - I loved all the details about each plant's requirements. I wish that the recommendations about timing were more about light and temperature and moisture, rather than say, March, or May, or whatever works for Charles Dowding in his specific region. For example, knowing when peas sprout or flower or fruit or stop doing any of those activities moisture- or temperature-wise is more helpful than knowing what month is a good month for him to do those things. I live in an area dominated by microclimates! That said, I learned a lot about many winter vegetables, and have much more courage to try growing them now. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,359,966 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #769 in Gardening & Horticulture Reference (Books) #810 in Gardening Encyclopedias #911 in Vegetable Gardening | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (284) | | Dimensions | 6.65 x 0.55 x 9.15 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1900322889 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1900322881 | | Item Weight | 1.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 232 pages | | Publication date | April 21, 2011 | | Publisher | Green Books | ## Images ![How to Grow Winter Vegetables - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91vpl6AICCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem *by M***N on August 20, 2013* While I have quite a collection of books about winter vegetable gardening, I turn to this book a lot for advice on timing.

From soil building methods to individual vegetables growing techniques and sowing schedule. This book is not only a book for growing winter vegetables, but how to plan the garden around having a productive garden year-round. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4143969-how-to-grow-winter-vegetables](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4143969-how-to-grow-winter-vegetables) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
