Victory Garden Video

I came across this today and thought I would share it with my visitors. My parents grew victory gardens, and I was raised with a very large ‘year round’ vegetable garden at our home. In times like these, it seems that it may one again be time for people to get out the shovels and hoes and contemplate some soil on their hands.
