Onward gardeners!
‘100 Foot Diet’ Winter Edition
I can see the day coming when even your home gardenIs gonna be against the law. – Bob Dylan / Union Sundown
Growing for Victory
Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In addition to indirectly aiding the war effort these gardens were also considered a civil “morale booster” in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown. – wikipedia

I’d guess about 50% was the salad, although one of my sons just had salad for dinner, so he must have liked it!

January 10, 2008 at 6:38 amSince you are taking questions, I have one for you. When you are trying to start a new plant from an existing, what kind of rooting medium/growth hormone do you use? This spring I’m going to try starting some new plants of rosemary and lavender from my extremely happy outdoor plants, but I don’t want to use the chemical stuff if I can avoid it. And it’s my understanding that starting them from seed is extremely difficult.
