The Victory Garden begins to take shape
I told everyone in budget preparation meetings to plant a Victory Garden this year, just in case this recession spirals into a real depression. During the Great Depression and the following war, over 40% of all food eaten in the USA was grown in Victory Gardens. There is an immense space in the Mineer's back yard in Salt Lake for such a garden, so while we were up there last week, in between snow storms we pruned the raspberries and the grapes; found seeds at Market Square for 10 cents per package. and started to prepare the garden. Later in April we'll probably return to till the ground and plant all manner of summer veggies. Jonathan is living in the house and will be responsible for watering and some weeding. We'll see how this all works out.
