I was aged 11 through 15 during that period, and remember Victory Gardens very well. I recall those tomatoes to this day. Just handling the plant released a wonderful tomato-ey aroma that lingered for a long time afterward! And the TASTE of those tomatoes were to die for! But in recent decades that has all been bred out of commercial tomatoes!
In addition to all the vegetables,we raised livestock --- ducks (Pekins and Muscovies), and rabbits. Mmmmmmm!
