Thanks, Carol.
Interesting and how fortunate for your family to be blessed with a "food grower" during the war. The first thing that came to my mind re growing your own food during wartime was "where do you get your water"? Not to sound too simple I just wondered since our water in Phoenix must be "delivered" to us... which means someone does that job and doesn't go to war.
I haven't thought of the war for a long time. I'd forgotten of the practice of "rationing" though even my grandparents in San Francisco were living with rationing during the war and certainly during the 1906 earthquake. In such a dire time it's amazing to me that people really organize and do the right thing, effectively, for all the people. We are very fortunate to live in the societies we do live in Britain or U.S. or any of the "developed countries".
