Year-Round Edible Gardening

“I thought of gardening as an activity for the warmer months until I read Lena Israelsson’s new book. I learned how to extend the season with smart planning and the right plants and growing methods. Lena also provides inspiration for indoor gardening. Having homegrown herbs, salad, and microgreens all year-round is much easier then you would think!” —Lena Wallentinson, author of Sprouts, Shoots & Microgreens “A well-researched, Swedish-inspired approach to season extension based on years of hands-on growing. Dramatically improve cold-weather meals by extending the season on both ends with or without a greenhouse.” —Anna Hess, author of The Ultimate Guide to Soil and Bug-Free Organic Gardening

Lena Israelsson is one of Sweden’s most valued gardeners. She is a newspaper journalist and has published a series of books, including the Handbok fr kkstrdgrden (Handbook for the Vegetable Garden), which is usually described as a vegetable grower’s bible. In 2004, she released the book Cityodling (Growing City). Lena Israelsson is of Norrbotten origin and has always had a strong interest in gardening. In a barren climate, she learned how important the foundation is to succeed in cultivation. The books she has written, and the knowledge she conveys, is thus based on deep, personal experience. She currently resides in Sweden.
