TonyC, it's called a Victory Garden. Grow your own food so the farmers can send their crops to our troops. Back when there was food rationing, a Victory Garden was quite important.

As for myself, my new place has a 5x10 patch of dirt outside. I won't be here much, but I did plant my garden last weekend. I have drought-resistant peas, radioactively altered Russian giant sunflowers, marigolds, morning glories, and alyssum.
