Icon's Veggie Garden of the Week
Story and photo by Jimmy Wilson
Today’s featured Ada Icon Veggie Garden belongs to Kathleen Anspaugh and her family.
You probably know her from Keith’s Hardware where she has worked for many years.
Kathleen says that seven generations Anspaughs have lived just northwest of Ada since 1871.
Like many locals, vegetable gardening is part of their way of life, and the whole family helps. Even the chickens do what they can to ensure a good crop.
The Ada Icon Veggie Gardens highlight vegetable gardens in the Ada area as a way of promoting self-sufficiency and agriculture education.
