Plant a ‘Victory Garden’ This Spring

“Victory gardens”—vegetable gardens first popularized during World War I—are making a comeback amid the coronavirus pandemic. These gardens can be big or small, sprawling across yards and rooftops or tucked in several small pots. “Even with a small amount of acreage, homeowners are able to grow large gardens—and these assets can reduce the number of trips to the grocery store and reduce your odds of contracting the COVID-19 virus,” Tim MacWelch, owner and lead instructor at Advanced Survival Training in Northern Virginia, told realtor.com®.

Brandt says some of the quickest plants to grow include leafy greens like arugula, bok choy, and Swiss chard, as well as zucchini, cucumbers, and many herbs like thyme, oregano, chives, and parsley.
