Poppa's Victory Garden

Papa’s Victory Garden we begin many folk began vegetable gardens in answer to a call from Ottawa. be a good citizen help support the boys overseas, fighting for us. Poppa took it very seriously. He asked the land lord for a bit of land hidden beneath the prideful lawn and he began to dig. I loved the mud all squishy between my toes making cakes decorated with pebbles and dandelions for sun icing. squatting like a little toad by mounded earth I got to poke holes for corn, peas, tomatoes, salads, especially momma's potato. I didn’t understand about war I was two, life was growing in me and the garden. The sun made me warm, the vegetables grew, the world was simple.
