About Karen
My name is Karen Bertelsen and I was a television host. In Canada. Which means in terms of notoriety and wealth, I was somewhere on par with the manager of a Sunset Tan in Wisconsin.
I quit television to start a blog with the goal that I could make my living through blogging and never have to host a television show again. And it’s worked out. I’m making a living blogging. If you’re curious, this is how I do that.
So I’m doing this in reverse basically. I’m the only blogger who is trying to NOT get a TV show.

Vegetable Gardening Tips for This Fall
"To call planting a seed gardening is like calling boiling a pot of water cooking. Gardening is everything that comes before and after the seed is planted."
