From Your Garden Homestead - On Inches, Yards, or Acres (1977 Thomas Powell)
The recent recession, of course, gave gardening much of it's new impetus. With reduced incomes, and forced by the oil crisis to stay close to home, people turned to improving their own properties. And they discovered they could save quite a bit of money by growing their own food. More lawns and flower beds were torn up and converted into vegetable plots in the mid-1970's than in the Victory Garden years of the '40s.
Doesn't it just blow your mind how much we've come around again to a book printed in 1977?
