I was thinking the other day how victory gardens were promoted during WWII but the liberals now talk about food shortages and never mention growing your own. Because they just want to scare you, not actually encourage you to prepare.

In my hometown, according to my mother, the fire whistle went off every day at noon (still does) and the few stores in town closed for an hour. Everyone went home and worked on their victory gardens during lunch hour.

One more tip - if you want to save seeds, make sure you get non-hybrid plants or seeds. Many of the heirlooms are non-hybrid but not all. For example, Rutgers tomatoes are considered an heirloom but are hybrid. Brandywine and Hillbilly are not hybrids.
