    Vegetable Gardening

    Since 2013 I've been growing almost all the produce I eat all year. I started with front yard vegetable gardening & now tend a 40x40 plot in the most pest riddled, disease infested community garden in all the land, lol. Lucky for you, that's how I learned so much. Let me teach you too.

    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.
