- Love the posters!
I have three gardening lenses on Squidoo. I am using the lenses to document the progress of my small raised bed garden and the tomatoes I am growing in pots. I have harvested a few poblano peppers, pattypan squash, and tomatoes.
Am lensrolling you to all three!

- Hello!
What a wonderful Victory Garden Website you have created!
I wanted to let you know about a national campaign I am spearheading to help stimulate a national move towards growing more of our food closer to home. As you know, as the economic challenges continue to grow, more and more Americans are considering getting involved in local food production.
As a way to help to accelerate this trend, we have started a very simple campaign called "One Million Gardens" who's goal is:
To identify, encourage, and document the creation of at least 1,000,000 food gardens throughout the U.S. in 2009.
I was curious if you would take a look at the site, add your garden to the list, and let others know about this campaign. It is also my hope that we can show the Obama administration the growing numbers of people involved in this work and help shift national policies to help encourage these activities.
Thank you for your work and I hope you will encourage others to add their gardens to this.

- I am so excited about the revival of Victory Gardens. I see it as victory over debt, victory over reliance on big food corporations, victory over pesticides and chemicals and most of all victory in helping our environment. There is nothing like getting your hands in the dirt and growing your own food. The joy I feel when I can feed my kids the food I have grown is so fulfilling. My husband and I started a an online comparison shopping business. One of our goals is to do a feature on Victory gardens. We want to provide reasonably priced garden products for first time or seasoned gardeners as a way to support this movement. I think the more we can educate people about gardening the less overwhelming it will be for them to start their own garden. Way to go to those who are trying to start this movement that will give people something to feel a part of and save them some money.

- My parents talked about victory gardens. Still watch the Victory Garden on pbs, but it does not seem to be much of a victory garden concept anymore.
