I was going to write you about these same videos I had just come across because I thought you would appreciate them. You already found them, too. I love them and the whole idea. I have always thought about this idea through the years but to actually see someone do it and to see how much food they could produce is very inspiring. I have gone back to school to get a teaching certificate and was doing an inquiry lesson for social studies about Victory Gardens--Past, Present and Future and came cross these videos. I ended my lesson with these videos. They are sooo inspiring and motivating. They planted many front and back yards during World War I and II for food. You might be interested in reading about the beginning of Victory Gardens in a free e-book called The War Garden Victorious. It makes you feel the importance of the home garden. This is the website http://www.earthlypursuits.com/WarGarV/WarGardTitle.htm It is also motivating. Thanks for all you do!

There is also a website for The Classroom Victory Garden Project at http://www.classroomvictorygarden.org/index.html It is made by The National World War II Museum in New Orleans that teaches children about the Victory Gardens. It looks quite good and is new and just became available a month or two ago. I looks well done.

This was wonderful. If you have some time, check out some of the other videos it will lead you to. Very inspiring! If it wasn't dark (and snowing), I would go out to the garden right now. Thank you.
