Apologies that the link is to the Telegraph, but I just came across these amazing pictures of the Dig For Victory campaign during WW2. Wouldn't it be amazing if we gave over more of our public spaces to veg growing? I think it looks amazing.

Love seeing the London ones! Must put a few seeds in my pocket to chuck around next time I go to town

Amazingly, I just noticed I used the word "amazing" three times in one amazing paragraph. I need more amazing coffee! But still, they are amazing pictures. Amazing.

Such a contrast with the picture showing them growing veg in the moat in the 40s and the poppies in the same place this year.
