My Grandpa Michael Howard was a "sunday farmer".
He was 68 in 1942 and and had 2 "Victory Gardens" and was
still working as a chauffeur and gardener.
He had his backyard garden and another plot he worked
down the street in some kind of "community" farming area.
He worked them both by himself - tilling, sowing,weeding, and
harvesting.
I wonder what would happen in this day & age.
People don't even plant their own flowers or mow their own
lawns, everybody's got landscapers.
