What exactly do you get from a side of beef? How much does it cost? How muck space does it take up? Let me break it down for you.

Victory Gardens for Today

By Stephanie Leave a Comment

Victory Gardens have a place today just as they did 80 years ago during WWI and WWII. Everyone can grow their own food - in full or in part - no matter where you live. Whether your garden consists of a series of planters on your patio, raised beds in the backyard, or a tilled plot of earth, take the time to plan your garden, grow what your family eats, and then share with your neighbors. What is a Victory Garden? During World War I and World War II the government rationed foods like ...
