Hound dog
Nana's are Beautiful
We did our monthly trip to the GW outlet this weekend.
We found a few things. Can't say we thought we'd found anything super special. Well.......I did find a 1947 copy of Life magazine in really good shape.......but still.
Nichole was telling me a few minutes ago about a cookbook she picked up. She was tickled because she thought it was just a cook book with old dutch from scratch recipes in it published in the 1960's. Then she went to thumb through it and read off some of the recipes...........and that is when she discovered what she really had.
Tucked within the pages of that cook book was an original Garden for Victory Pamphlet published in 1944 for ohio in perfect condition. I thought the child was going to pop right through the phone. lol It tells you how to set it up, how to prepare it, when to plant it, how to grow crops in such an order that you're always rotating them and planting a new set for the highest yield and what to plant to make certain you're getting a balanced diet. All sorts of wonderful information. I admit I was jealous and wishing I could see it too. So she did a quick search and found a pdf someone made of one published the year before hers.
I dunno how many people here might be considering planting a garden to off set food prices or just to eat healthier but this may come in handy..........and in my opinion is far easier to understand than most published things I read on gardening as they don't seem to take for granted you know what you're doing. I haven't checked but perhaps there are more out there for other states as well.
Here is the one for ohio for anyone who would like to print it out:
