And you get to decide how to control the weeds and bugs.Avoiding the pesticides and herbicides used in commercial vegtable farming would be a big plus.

Yup. I plant a garden every year. Roma tomatoes, bell peppers, yellow squash, and whatever else I feel like. I also put in a bed for the wife to grow strawberries, and we have two blueberry and one gold harvest raspberry plant. About eight years ago, I put in a Granny Smith apple sapling, and now it's about 13 or 14 feet tall. We harvested more apples right in front of our door than we knew what to do with last year. The wife was canning homemade applesauce, apple butter, apple pie in a jar, and all manner of things for weeks. I started inviting the neighbors over to pick their own.

Although I don't refer to mine as a victory garden I do enjoy gardening. The biggest problem is crabgrass. Fight it all spring and summer. Have never found the answer as to how to get rid of it.

“I see many positive aspects of encouraging victory gardens today. “ So do I. Even for people who have been gardening all their lives, the produce you grow in your garden tastes much better than anything coming from a grocery store.

Drooling over the seed catalogues. I can't wait to harvest some good tomatoes again.
