Buying Victory Garden Seed, c.1943 Courtesy, Newark Public Library
Though "Victory Gardens" were often characterized as man's
work in government literature, women gardened, as well. The growing and canning of food on
the home front reached a peak in 1943. Having a garden became a patriotic act as well as a
way to get fresh foods on the table.
