Isn't it a lot of trouble to run to the supermarket every time you run out of fresh tomatoes or cucumbers? What if you could step into your backyard and just pick a dozen tomatoes off a plant? Growing your own vegetables is time-consuming, but the rewards are many. You can save money by growing the vegetables your family eats. A head of organic cauliflower, for example, can cost five dollars in the store, but it can be grown for pennies in your own garden. It also saves you the time and effort of visiting a grocery store. You do not have to grow vegetables that need a lot of care and attention. You can stick to vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, and other vegetables that are easy to grow.

Vegetable gardening has additional benefits, too. Vegetable gardening puts you back in touch with the earth because it is peaceful and meditative. In fact, it seems impossible to worry about other parts of life while you are gardening. If you do not have room for a garden where you live, you can always participate in a community garden.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
