fyi, the LARGEST VICTORY GARDEN in the world was in Denton,TX during WW2.

it was planted/cultivated/harvested by the coeds of Texas State College for Women (now: Texas Women's University).

the college girls raised so many TONS of tomatoes & other vegetables in 1944 that there wasn't enough RAIL transport space to haul them to the canning plants! this was a HUGE operation.

btw, my mother STILL won't eat SPAM, duck,goose,lamb or mutton. she always says, "i ate more than my share of that stuff during the war".

Morning stand watie.

Thanks for telling us about the Texas State College for Women's Victory Garden.

Attitudes on the Home Front sure were different back then.
