Plant a Victory Garden
If you’re concerned about a shortage of fresh vegetables in your fridge, you might be a prime candidate for the victory garden trend.
Victory gardens first became a thing about a hundred years ago during World War I and again during WWII. Americans were urged to contribute to the cause by growing vegetables in every flowerpot and patch of land available.
Neighbors grew different vegetables and shared their produce with each other, and according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 20 million American homes had a victory garden.
Even with a small plot, homeowners are able to grow large gardens, and these assets can reduce the number of trips to the grocery store.
Planting your own garden is perfect timing right now because the weather is getting better all over the country, and you can even sow some seeds inside and then transplant them to the ground later on.
