Heather, it’s pretty darn expensive, but you know…the scenery and the weather and all the fresh produce make it all worth it, as far as I’m concerned…

Patti, a turtle — so cute! And yes — I think gardening can be a habit that can last a lifetime.

My folks had a Victory Garden when I was about 5 year old, during the war. Can remember that it was lots of fun – even found a little turtle that I befriended. This was in Michigan and it seems like there were a ton of people gardening with us. After all these years I still have a garden. Nothing better than those fresh veggies.

As I’ve read the coveragae of this issue I’ve been horrified by the price of everything out there. How can anyone possibly afford to live there? But I’m excited that we’ll get the real inside scoop on this one.

Lydia, I’m definitely going to keep an eye on it, post-Slow Food Nation, just to see what happens.

Susan, I’d love to do a guest post — absolutely! And definitely will keep you guys in the loop as I write about it here.

Well, GardenRant writers and readers, naysayers and ayesayers alike, would love a report straight from a blogging Victory garden docent. Guest post? Or send us the links to your posts about it? Susan

This is so exciting — your first step toward becoming an Oakland gardener. The Victory Garden may start out as a temporary project, but I’m sure it will find a permanent home with your help and the support of those who come to visit.
