I've been listening to reports from the White House, New York State, and California, with advice to citizens to stay home so as to flatten the curve and not overwhelm the healthcare system and also for family members to stay in touch. And it's good advice. There is also acknowledgement, as appropriate, of those on the front lines needed to continue their work, such as healthcare workers or grocers or postmen.
But when there are comparisons to wartime? I can't help but think of what my parents' generation did during WWII, with "average citizens" DIRECTLY contributing their Time and Energy towards the war effort in myriad ways - something a little more than staying home watching netflix while speed-dialing mom. Okay, there's a difference in that, in this case, people need to remain at home.
Still, I kept thinking, what a MISSED OPPORTUNITY to not suggest specific, proactive ways that people could help both themselves and others *while* remaining at home. THANK YOU for doing that.
Thank you for providing all the information necessary for even beginner gardeners to do just that with Victory Gardens. I hope readers forward this article to every friend or relative with a patch of dirt to call their own.
