My parents grew a survival garden all their life from the 20s on. I know because starting in the late 30s I had to weed and water it and swore when I grew up I would never ever garden again. Yeah...right. We bought a place with 6 acres so I could “Garden” in 1979 and prior to that we bought a vacant lot next to that house so I could “Garden”.

Getting back to the Victory Garden, I have been spending a lot of time looking at hundreds of ariel photos from the 40s 50s and 60s posted on the Humboldt State Universitie's library collections web site and almost every back yard had a garden here in Eureka. Ping me if anyone wants a link to the site...
