I enjoy the process honestly. So I don’t find it a big time or energy drain. Grab a beer and pop beans, shuck corn, or pack jars.
We don’t have our own garden anymore which sucks. My work is too crazy for that with 3 small kids. I look forward to getting back to it though. Shouldn’t complain about cousin growing it all and giving it to us, but I will.
Maybe next year I’ll have a small garden for just some things her cousin doesn’t grow.
