"Victory Gardens" began in Britain in 1944 . "Plant more in '44" was
the rally call.
Lawns were transformed into gardens . 20 Million Americans grew 40 % of
all their vegetables .
Count the benefits.
And the food is better for your health. Not to mention the exercise and
you don't
have to drive down to the "gym" for it.
So, sell the lawnmower and set yourself free.

No -- more like 1940 (when food was rationed, park railings
removed for scrap metal, playing fields ploughed up to plant
vegetables etc.)

I began growing at home because of the lack of good tomatoes available in
the stores. Most tomatoes are hybridized to ship well, and not taste good. I
had a very good crop this year, and my garden mysteriously produced well
even though I didn't fertilize even once.
