Diagram of how to lay out a victory garden in order to grow vegetables successfully. Images like this one were used to provide the home front population with a guide as to the correct way to layout their victory garden. The diagram provides the measurements for proper spacing between crops. It is tailored for smaller sized gardens, for homes with smaller yards, or for community garden plots in cities. This is the size garden that a child could easily tend to.
