      Me as well. This has been wonderful. We have been working on our garden, I am just amazed at what they were able to do. This has also helped me understand why my grandmother always carefully unwrapped presents and kept the bows, and truely never wasted anything. A very different mindset from today. But a very beautiful way of thinking.

      @@jenniferlrobison: And now that mindset of that time needs to be the mindset of today. I am expanding the garden and even though we are experiencing a severe drought here in missouri usa, I go to local water ways to load up on water for the garden as tap water has too much added chemicals that is not good for growing healthy crops. Heirloom seeds so we can reproduce our crops from our own seed again and again.

      Jane Smith, watching this series made me realize how much the British went through, but only having grass to eat is shocking. I do remember my friend in Italy telling me his grandparents lived in a cave during the war. I don't think I will ever take the amount of food we have available for granted again. Blessings.

    Fascinating series. I am tempted to try to eat all my meals for two weeks based on the rationing shown during the series. 2 oz of cheese, 12 eggs for a month, hardly any butter, sugar, tea or meat. It would be challenging and I would certainly learn something.

      Well, get a rabbit of the opposite sex and raise up the babies for meat. That's hard too but the neighbors would be much more approving. I suppose that news of the horrors of the seige of Leningrad where the nazis calculated to starve out the residents and they survived by eating dogs, cats, rats, glue and even their frozen dead didn't arrive until very late in the War.

    What a wonderful series - thank you for uploading it ! The writer and narrator: Peter Thoday presented 'The Victorian Kitchen Garden' on the BBC in 1987 before this series aired in 1993. I get a real sense of his passion for gardening and the times he wrote about in his work, especially in 'The Wartime Garden and Kitchen' - himself a horticulturalist and son of a renowned gardener, he understood how much it pained gardeners to uproot plants they had nurtured for years. 'The Wartime Garden and Kitchen' felt like a natural progression from his previous work and I think it outlined well the hastening changes in Britain from the perspective of gardeners and cooks alike.

    My mom used to reserve the water from boiling potatoes to save the starchy water. I forget what she used it for, pie making?
    It was more of a grey market. Everyone got their basic ration, it was amazingly fair and managed to convince people that at the basic level everyone was getting their basic share. Nutrition improved for many poor Britains and malnutrition was unknown under rationing. They started rationing soon enough, they made it as fair as practical, they lowered the ration points on anything that suddenly became plentiful if a shipload made it through the blockade! Damn they had rationing till 1953, 8 years after the war ended. The British people were amazingly resilient.

    11/11/2023. I grew up listening to my mom & dads stories of living in these times. These episodes were like being with my grandparents again. Even as a child they would take us kids to the local dump and send us out with boxes to dig in the piles of garbage to find mayonnaise and pickle jars and grandma would clean them up and use them to can her garden foods. Grandpa, my dad and Uncles would rummage for things to fix and use on the ranch. Then we would head over to a farm to swim in the fish pond to wash the stink off us and have a picnic lunch. I don't think grandma ever took that kitchen apron off until Sunday when she went to church. Here I am all these years later growing a Victory Garden. Governments showed us over & over that if we give them the power to feed us then we give them the power to starve us. Save those Heritage seeds!

    I was a kid in the 1970s and WW2 seemed like a distant memory. People didn't talk about the war (both sets of my grandparents lived in both Hull and Coventry which were obliterated by bombing, and they probably felt emasculated - it wasn't their war, and they just had to endure it).
    It is only from the perspective of 2023 that I now start to see echos of the war from my childhood. Even as late as 1980, there were scrapyards near me with WW2 vehicles in them (we used to scavange bits for whatever project we had). There was also a lot of infrastructure in the woods which was probably related to invasion troops being billeted. And what I distinctly remember from the 1970s were the number of people who would keep chickens or even a pig or two out of habit. This was all in a small satellite town of Oxford.

      Just be sure to get a pressurecanner, regular boiling only works for some fruits and berries.
      some old methods are very dangerous, even deadly, canning meat without enough heat (quite a bit over just boiling water) can lead to butolism and other nasty stuff

    • @granolagirl4972
      @granolagirl4972 Před 4 lety +1

      I just wanted to reply to echo what the other commenter said: canning is fabulous but must be done safely. Tomatoes are naturally high in acid and easy to can. Other things (like meat and many fruits and veg) are low in acid and must go through extra canning steps so you don't kill yourself and your entire family with botulism. Make sure you do your research. I live in the US and our Department of.... Agriculture, I believe, has a full guide available all about safe canning. I'm sure other countries have something similar!

    I'm surprised more people didn't raise rabbits with all those gardens producing waste from lettuce and crucifer crops. A pair could yield more than two dozen offspring in a year. Saving scraps for a year in return for a small share of a pig hardly seems worth it in comparison.

      @@oldplaner I noted recipes & without a doubt I'll have a haybox. I've already watched 4-5 videos on it. You know you can make BREAD with one?!!!
      Cooking with a steamer pot...I doubt I'll do that since I have a microwave.
      If the other series' have similar information, then I'm doubly grateful for your introduction to them 👍

    I missed the name of the green beans. Can someone clue me in? How are those prepared? Thank you

      Haricot Verts, I think they can be harvested young like a green bean or shelled fully mature and cooked like white beans. There are so many kinds of pole bean for every area.

    🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐I did my best planting elderberry is this year I only had access to just a few trees and a Washington state USA I found enough before I planted around 15,000. I found something special also it’s called a highbush cranberry I only seen one.
    I put the seeds through erotic acid for about an hour to duplicate the digestive system of an animal, the neutralize it with baking soda and water, then water so I could start absorbing into the seed because I had a wax coating on it. I try to find what’s left and I tried to duplicate it , I’m afraid for this country one slight problem there is no food
