If I don’t find an article that works, soon, then I may just go with part of the title.

LOL, the beginning article for this was puny, but it worked.

Thanks and a hug to both of you for caring.

Just ordered my tobacco seeds from the "seedman.com" source. Reasonable prices, will be my first attempt at growing it and should be a super barter item. Wondering if one of our old paper shredders will do a good job on seasoned/cured tobacco leaf!

Lots to learn on this project...

Poised for a Comeback
Michael J. Panzner
Published 02.06.2009 11:41 GMT

During World War I and later in World War II, food shortages and difficult economic conditions spurred efforts that encouraged the public to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs at home to help supplement traditional supplies. These gardens were known as war or victory gardens.

With hard times making a comeback, will we see a resurgence of such activites? If the following Financial Times report, “Seed Merchants Benefit from Urge to Dig Deep,” is anything to go by, the answer is “yes.”

Americans are turning in increasing numbers to their back yards to save money, with leading US seed merchants reporting a dramatic surge in early sales of carrots, tomato and pepper plant seeds.
