Rewarding Vegetable Gardening in Wisconsin

By: Kim Charles

Kathy Riesterer from Wisconsin , has bridged the col between the busy living we all experience , and vegetable gardening .

" Growing up on a class ranch in Montana horticulture was a summertime hobby my female parent and father enjoyed . It was a large garden that had to be rototilled about every two weeks . Maintenance was central to keeping it weed free and develop beautifully . Those were the days ! The lazy days of summer!Fast frontward to the now : raising my children on a small acreage in Wisconsin I thought I am going to do the same . Then derive association football recitation , football camp , 4 - H bivouac and labor , summer school and summertime trips , and then on to baseball game praxis and teenage caper , to “ mama I require to hang up with my friends , ” and that is just a pinch of what take place over the years . Busy lives with fighting , working kids and parent that endeavor to supply a holiday or two in the mix leave little clock time for weeding and maintaining a garden . This is why I garden with a unique , raised gardening organisation ; it is a self - tearing garden bottom that allows me to leave it when the schedules get busy . My husband actually design and created this organisation in the 90 ’s after his grandmother intercept garden due to the strain it caused her back , but with a raised garden seam she was able to get back to what she have it off without the pain of bend over . My kid were raise with horticulture and because of that they also love to garden and appreciate the chance our gardens give us to bond certificate , learn and uprise together . It IS the reason I garden . Love my gardens ! I hope you enjoy the photos . All the awesome and toothsome veg were turn right in my backyard . "
