Gardens

During World War 2, people at home helped win the war as much as any soldier did. A good part of our resources were used to support the national war effort. People at the home front had to do everything they could to help their country. They helped fund the war by purchasing bonds, recycling, conserving raw materials like oil, and rallying behind their troops. All these efforts helped us achieve victory but were not enough …

…should have known better because the victory garden was not something that was invented during World War 2. These gardens were planted before, during the first World War and many wars before that. They may someday be needed again if times get tough. Being able to produce and preserve your own food is very important. As Henry Ford once said, "No unemployment insurance can be compared to an alliance between man and a plot of land".
