Here's another op-ed piece on Victory Gardens from the April 12 San Francisco Chronicle. Has a link to this video from WWII era.
Also, Scotland is getting into the act...here's a nifty May 1 BBC piece that's very informative about their "Dig for Victory" program, which is similar to our VGs. I loved this bit:
Labour MSP Karen Gillon said the rush to bio fuels was behind many of the problems.
"Are we really prepared to sit back and say to the world's starving millions - we will burn your food in our cars?
"In the US next year the use of corn for ethanol is forecast to rise to 114 million tonnes - nearly a third of their projected crop."
Here's to our allies...no, Allies...around the globe!
