Niki’s unconventional – yet wildly successful – growing techniques are proof that elbow-deep snow is NOT, in fact, a valid excuse for a puny parsnip harvest. Her first book, The Year Round Vegetable Gardener, was honored with the 2012 American Horticultural Society’s Book Award, and her latest title, Groundbreaking Food Gardens: 73 Plans That Will Change the Way You Grow Your Garden (Storey Publishing, 2014) opens your eyes to an infinite number of tasty possibilities.</p><br> <p>Look for Niki’s next book in 2017! Niki’s work is also found in Fine Gardening, Garden Making, The Heirloom Gardener, and Birds & Blooms magazines, and her column on vegetable growing techniques appears in each issue of Horticulture magazine. Oh, and one last thing about Niki: her radio program, The Weekend Gardener, which launched in 2007 is heard throughout Eastern Canada on News 95.7 FM. In 2015, Niki won the ‘Best On-Air Talent’ award from the Garden Writers of America</p><br> <p> </p><br> <h2>Please visit the sponsors to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/mikethegardenerllc?sub_confirmation=1">the Vegetable Gardening Show</a> </h2><br> <p> </p><br> <p> </p><br> <table><tbody> <tr> <td colspan="5" align="center" valign="top"><a href="https://www.averagepersongardening.com/seedsclub/step_2.php?node=SAVE40NOW"><img src="http://res.cloudinary.com/mike-the-gardener-enterprises-llc/image/upload/v1454982867/VG_300x250_Join_f6lxvi.jpg" alt="Seeds of the Month Club" border="0"></a></td> <br> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <br> </tr> <tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr> </tbody></table>
