Bucket Garden Update

Here are some updated pictures of the Bucket Garden

Tomatoes

Spinach

I am on the second planting of the Spinach. We have had several Spinach salads and the the taller plants in the pictures are what is left from the first planting.

I am definitely going to plant more greens here at the house next year. Lettuce and Spinach.

There is nothing like going out and cutting some fresh greens for dinner!

Victory Gardens

Victory Garden Posters was part of the publicity for a brilliantly mounted campaign to encourage the use of homegrown foods during the World War II. Because commercially canned goods were rationed, the Victory Garden became an indispensable source of food for the home front. The Victory Garden was a household activity during the war and one of the most well received of all home front chores. At its peak, it is estimated that nearly 20,000,000 gardens were grown and about 40 percent of all vegetables produced in the U.S. came from Victory Gardens. By the end of the war the Department of Agriculture estimated total home front production of over one million tons of vegetables valued at 85 million dollars.

With these hard economic times, I wonder how many "Victory Gardens"

will be planted this year in the United States?

Ahhhhh.... The Memories........

This picture of Markie Post from back in the day reminded me of the '80's.

You see.......this was my hairstyle of choice back then. I remember running to my stylist with her pic and saying " I want my hair like this." That was back when Mullets were cool.

Ahhhhhh....... the Memories.........................

This is the view.....

This is the view from my office window.

I love the pond and the new trees the home owners association planted.

Look......one of them is turning a pretty fall color.
