People were asked to work every bit of land possible to produce their own food. Food production had fallen dramatically because most agricultural labor joined the military and the U.S. entered a food shortage.
During #WW2, U.S. citizens were once again called upon to grow food in whatever space they could find. Food production had once again fallen due to agricultural labor joining the military.
The Victory Garden movement was successful. Sowing the Seeds of Victory produced 40 percent of all the fresh fruits and vegetables consumed in the U.S. during this period. 20,000,000 Victory Gardens were recorded across the United States. Victory Gardens were even planted on school ground and used to supplement children’s lunches.
Government entities would supply families with seed packet designs to reserve produce seeds, garden plot guidance and recipes.
Excess food grown in Victory Gardens was canned and used during the winter months to help supplement the amount of food available.
Planting and growing fresh produce is a rewarding hobby, sign of self sufficency and off sets the food bill! But what if you don’t have a lot of yard space? Or any yard space? Use containers, windowsill gardens, rooftop gardens, balcony or patio gardens. Use grow lights inside. There are many possibilities that will work!
