Victory Garden

This poem recalls days of WWII when everyone was urged to grow a gardan.

The year was '44

Victory gardens were the thing.

Mama planted scores and more,

Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes,

Onions, radishes, carrots, scallions too.

Rhubard, melons, and a lot of corn.

Mama with her generous nature,

Fed not only our family well, but

Neighbors, friends and kin as well.

I really enjoyed this trip through your memories. I am writing a kids story during this time period, and this sounds just like some of the stories from the research I did-it is such a gift to pass on stories like this one in your poem.

My grandpa kept his garden long after the war ended and I remember how neat it was to go to his place for all those delicious fruits and veggies.

Cheers,

I'm giving my age away but I remember our Victory Garden and the hours my mother planted from seed and then transplanted. Everything thrived as did this then child under her care.

A delightful recall, Carol,
of doing the right thing in difficult times;
the spirit of giving, too, and sharing is here;
i wish we had more people today who would make the effort
to grow 'their own' (and for others).
Love this piece. Thank you.

John
