Betsy Thorpe has a couple of great posts on her blog today. One in particular is about an effort to revive the “Victory Garden.”

As spring approaches, a nation-wide grass roots movement reviving the spirit of the World War II Victory Garden is rapidly growing as Americans look for ways to combat our nation’s current economic crisis and to lead healthier and greener lives.

Tiny Cat Pants:

Anyway, so my plan is thus.  We’re going to measure out the size of the garden and till it all.  I’m keeping in mind Bridgett’s admonition to not till what you don’t want to weed, but I’m going to stand in my far back yard, beyond the creek, and decide how best to measure and mark that and leave room for marigolds everywhere.

Southern Beale has recovery flowers:

Meanwhile, here at the Beale garden, my lilac bushes and roses have sprouted leaves, my camelias have fat flower buds on display, my daffodils are in full bloom and there are even bright purple flowers on my creeping phlox. I noticed these changes in February.
