Personal information:

I'm an avid reader and also love to get my hands in the earth to grow fruits and vegetables. This year alone my husband and I have canned 35 quarts of green beans, 9 quarts of spaghetti sauce and 10 pints of jam from berries grown on our property. My husband has recently built me a greenhouse in just a week, and I plan on starting my own seeds in the spring.
