Even if you weren’t alive during World War 2, chances are that you learned about “victory gardens” in history class. Due to a produce shortage around the country, many families resorted to creating their own gardens. Though the US hasn’t declared a food shortage yet, experts expect that one is on the way. Be prepared for the shortage by planting your vegetables now. Things like sweet potatoes, kale, lettuce, celery, onions, and more are all super easy to grow. You might even get more than one harvest out of yours if you plan accordingly.

Gardening Ideas: Update Your Seating Area

Since we all have to stay home, why not turn your backyard into an outdoor paradise?

You could even dig out an in-ground fire pit if you were looking for a reason to stay outside all day. Creating an outdoor haven like this is truly what will keep you from going insane through the remainder of the pandemic.

All you need is a water pump, some gravel, and a large pot. Learn more about creating your own here.
