Today’s $20/$20 Challenge submission is from a reader who gardens, cans and shares her bounty! Here’s Karen’s story:
Hi Mavis! I’ve been following your blog for several years now and glean so many great tips/advice from it! My name is Karen and I live in SW Idaho. I’ve been married for 27 years to my high school sweetie and have two grown children ages 23 and 20. My youngest still lives at home while attending college. I grew up on an acreage where my mom gardened and canned, in addition to our family raising our own beef and pork. I married a hunter so we also harvest deer and elk to add to our freezer as well.
I have several raised beds for vegetables as well as an area for pumpkins and squash. Can’t forget pots of herbs to dry as well as fresh cat nip for the kitties. I have about 25 chickens that free range on bug patrol during the day that give us lots of tasty eggs and the excess go to friends and family. The girls have names to match their personalities!
