I acquired a vintage WWII Victory Gardening booklet called Have A Victory Garden at an estate sale a while ago. My blog is sort of vintage themed, so I decided to scan it and post it on my blog. Every Saturday (starting today) for the next month I'll post a PDF file free for download with 17 pages (each) of the booklet. By the time it's done you'll have the complete booklet. I found it really interesting and actually pretty cool.
I thought I'd mention it here as MJF seems to have a kind of vintage feel to it too and I thought it might be of interest to some of you.

thanks for the download. As I read the the basics, there is some good info that people need to know. As I looked through the list of veggie names, there were a few I was familiar with, but I think many have been replaced with the hybrid types. I also found it interesting in the list of how long seed remained good. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing!

We try to do all old varieties of veg. We planted one hybrid last year, a lemon boy tomato, but this year we've gone all heirloom! Its so fun to see how things used to be done and then to try to do it that way yourself.

That's neat! I just downloaded one for my Kindle, but is it really hard to read. The font is really small, but it is cute!

Jenny, I think I have one of those too. It looks almost exactly the same as mine only with a different cover.
