Hey guys, if you have a harvest coming on, big or small, you are going to love this episode today.

Hey, Crystal, welcome to the podcast. I'm so excited to talk to you, but today. Well, thank you so much

for having me. I have to tell you that

I have enjoyed your book so much. In fact, I get a lot of gardening books sent to me, and this

isn't necessarily a gardening book, but I read your book faster than I've read any other book this

year. I devoured it and I've already started using it. So I just want to say,

first of all, thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough introduction to freezing our
