Victory Gardens: Not Quite My Garden

Posted by Raven on June 15th, 2008

I’m pretty proud of my gardens in the back yard. I wanted to share this patriotic picture from yesterday:


…note the red, white and blue wild flowers…not quite my Mothers’ Garden

I have a HUGE veggie garden that is well on it’s way to producing an excellent harvest. I have pictures over @ Just Raven, but for here I wanted to share scanned images of my Mothers Victory Garden Book she had from WW2 days.


My Dad joined the Navy in 1943 and was sent off to Europe during the war; my Mom, Grandmah and aunts all grew their own VGardens and were VERY proud of their work.

My Mom used to tell me how she carefully chose her garden tools- at the local hard ware shop. She took such good care of them too- so much that I own them now and use them!

The little book is 36 pages and offers lots of advice, which should be followed today:

Sorry about the blurry images- scans suck!
