The Cottage Vegetable
| Gardening & Preserving for a Practical Kitchen |
My name is Chelsea, from the blog The Cottage Vegetable.
Nestled in the lower peninsula of Michigan, gardening has been a passion of mine for years. Here you will find videos that correspond to my blog posts about gardening, preserving, cooking.
My hope is to help bridge the gap between people's garden and their kitchens, by giving bite size pieces of information so you can grow better gardens and create a practical kitchen from it.
Please check out the links below! Thank you!
