garden. That is you come over and help with the work of the garden, <BR>
an hour or two a week and you get one share of the harvest. I am <BR>
hoping to do some classes in drying, pickling and canning of the <BR>
produce the garden produces, with grocery prices predicted to spike <BR>
80% over the next couple of weeks this is a very good deal. So start <BR>
stocking up on your canning supplies now they very well maybe next to <BR>
impossible to find in the fall. Some time this Tuesday I will be <BR>
taking possession of a roto-tillerr to start to prepare the ground <BR>
for planting. My seed stock will be coming in at the end of the <BR>
Month. So bed layout and planting will start the first week of <BR>
April. All seeds are Heirloom and non genetically modified, so we <BR>
can save seeds for next years crop.<BR>
<BR>
Yours in Service to the Dream<BR>

Gardens for this year are : <BR>
VICTORY GARDEN<BR>
<BR>
During WW I and WW II, Americans were encouraged to grow Victory <BR>
Gardens to help support the war effort. Perhaps now is the time to <BR>
renew that practice. Previously, people were asked to grow their own <BR>
produce, so more of the commercially grown produce was available for <BR>
the relief effort overseas. Those unable to grow their own were <BR>
forced to use rationing coupons. The new war on terrorism is <BR>
different from previous wars, and no one is predicting the American <BR>
public will need to endure food rationing, as previously done the <BR>
first two world wars. But, America still needs the support of the <BR>
people, and our economy needs to keep functioning in order to lessen <BR>
the effects of the war on the home front. By growing your own <BR>
Victory Garden, you can save money. That money can then be used to <BR>
help support the war effort, either by donating it to charity or <BR>
spending it to help our sagging economy.<BR>
