The New Garden Encyclopedia Victory Garden Edition 1943 |
Welcome to Episode 10's supplemental blog post! Part 2 about Victory gardens focused on the garden itself, what was planted, what tools they needed, and helps, successes, and problems. To read part 1 go HERE.
At the beginning of the episode I mention the interview with author Julie Zuckerman. You can read that interview HERE!
First, I wanted to showcase some Victory garden artifacts from the amazing American homefront collection of Scott and Carrie Lords. You can follow them on Instagram @homefronthistory and you can visit their website HERE!
And now, enjoy these articles from various magazines I mentioned in the episode.
